Former Predators Forward Makes Long-Awaited Return Following Scary Injury
It's been nine months since former Nashville Predators forward Kevin Fiala has taken the ice following a scary injury early in the Olympic Games in February, now he's finally making his return to the NHL.
On Thursday night, the Los Angeles Kings announced that Fiala had been activated off of the injured reserve and will make his season debut tonight against the New York Islanders.
Fiala, the Predators' 11th overall selection in the 2014 NHL Draft, played 204 games for the Preds across five seasons. During that time he had 97 points (45 goals and 52 assists).
