Los Angeles Kings winger Kevin Fiala had two very different regular seasons in the Pacific Division in the 2024-25 campaign. Fiala started off the regular season averaging fewer than 0.5 points per game at 5-on-5 in the season's first three months.
He saw a decline in his second-unit power play minutes and started to take some bad and untimely penalties for the Kings and head coach Jim Hiller early on in the last regular season for LA. Fiala was even a healthy scratch for a game in the regular season's first half for Hiller and the Kings.
