Kevin Fiala has rejoined the Swiss national hockey team in Herning, ready for their match against the USA. Arriving late Sunday evening after his NHL playoff elimination with the Los Angeles Kings, Fiala wasted no time integrating back into the team, participating in his first training session early Monday morning. He seemed in high spirits, sharing laughs with teammate Nico Hischier, with whom he shares a strong connection.
Despite a brief absence, Fiala, the MVP of the last World Championship, showcased impressive skills in training, where he practiced various powerplay formations under coach Patrick Fischer’s guidance. His recent performance includes three goals and four assists in the playoffs, indicating that he is in good form and poised to contribute significantly against the USA.
With Fiala officially registered for the tournament, the team is close to finalizing its roster, leaving only one goalie and one defender position open. Fischer has been exploring different line combinations, and as Fiala has previously demonstrated a knack for scoring shortly after joining the team, expectations are high for his performance in the upcoming game, echoing his success from last year’s World Championship.
