Kevin Fiala nears his long-awaited return from a fractured leg, joining veteran Mats Zuccarello to provide a crucial offensive spark for the struggling Los Angeles lineup.
The Los Angeles Kings are set to receive major offensive reinforcements as Kevin Fiala and Mats Zuccarello near returns from their respective injuries. Fiala is targeting a season debut either Thursday against the New York Islanders or Saturday against the Calgary Flames. Meanwhile, veteran winger Zuccarello is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators after missing time with an upper-body injury.
Fiala has been sidelined after breaking his left leg at the Winter Olympics in February, requiring surgeries in both February and September. Zuccarello, who signed a one-year deal in the offseason, has been limited to just six games this season due to multiple injuries. Their returns provide a much-needed boost for a struggling Kings squad that began the season with six consecutive losses.
