Less than two games into the 2026 Winter Olympics, Kevin Fiala’s run in Italy has already come to an end. During the final few minutes of Friday’s game vs. Canada, the Swiss forward was tangled up with Tom Wilson along the boards and instantly went down in what appeared to be agonizing pain. He was eventually taken off the ice on a stretcher and has now been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.
