MILAN — Switzerland forward Kevin Fiala suffered a leg injury and was taken off the ice on a stretcher late in a game against Canada at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Friday.
The Los Angeles Kings star went down when he collided with Tom Wilson with just under three minutes left in Canada’s 5-1 victory.

Fiala backed into a hit on Wilson near the boards and immediately went to the ice. After a stoppage in play, medical personnel attended to Fiala.
Fiala was placed facedown on a stretcher and his left leg appeared to be in an air cast as he was wheeled out.
“I haven’t seen him yet,” Swiss coach Patrick Fischer said. “I think he went to the hospital. Obviously it doesn’t look very good. Tough moment for Kevin and the whole team, obviously.”
No penalty was assessed on the play.
“It was an accident,” Fischer said.
Fiala, 29, is in his 12th NHL season and fourth with the Kings. He has 40 points in 56 games this season.
