Fiala put up a power-play assist Saturday before being benched later in the game. Los Angeles won 3-2 over Utah.
Kings coach Jim Hiller had suggested he'd decrease ice time for players who repeatedly take bad penalties. Fiala took an interference penalty in the first period and was whistled for cross-checking in the second stanza. He ended up with 10:12 of ice time over 14 shifts. Entering Saturday's matchup, Fiala had played more than 17 minutes in six of the Kings' first eight games. Players usually respond well to situations like this, so watch for Fiala to hit the ice flying Tuesday against San Jose.
