Fiala (lower leg) should play Thursday against the Islanders or Saturday against Calgary, according to Emily Kaplan of ESPN.

Fiala has been progressing in recent practices and is close to making his 2026-27 debut. He hasn't played since the 2026 Winter Olympics in February, when he suffered a lower-leg fracture while competing for Switzerland. Fiala registered 18 goals, 40 points, 147 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 39 hits in 56 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2025-26.
