Kevin Fiala makes a successful return to the ice with the Los Angeles Kings. The East Swiss, who has recovered from a knee injury, has two assists in the Los Angeles Kings’ 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Blues.

The 26-year-old from St. Gallen missed six games and was replaced at the top of the Swiss top scorers list by Nico Hischier (24). Fiala was involved as a passer in the opening goal after 27 seconds on Monday evening and also had the stick in the game with the 7:5 lead in the power play. He now has 70 scorer points (22 goals/48 assists) and has overtaken Hischier.

Malgin wins, Josi and Kurashev injured

In the Swiss duel between the Arizona Coyotes with Janis Moser (22) and the Colorado Avalanche with Denis Malgin (26), the favored guests from Denver won 4:3 nP. The penalty shootout extends to 14 players, as 13 shooters failed before, including Malgin, who grew up in Biel. In the end, the Russian Valeri Nitschuschkin secured Colorado’s eighth win in the last nine games, both Swiss cannot improve their points tally. Denis Malgin’s team is now even the leader of the Central Division after losing points.

The Nashville Predators have now played their fourth game without their captain Roman Josi (32), who has an upper body injury. Berner’s team lost the home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs 2:3. The Predators suffer their second loss in a row and are currently not in the playoffs.

Philipp Kurashev (23) is also injured. The forward, who grew up at SC Bern, has to watch as his Chicago Blackhawks take their fifth loss in a row (4-2) against the Vancouver Canucks. (SDA)
