Fiala was handed a three-game suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety for his hit on LA's Matt Roy in Thursday's win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Fiala served a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the hit, and now he won't be eligible to return until the Wild's Feb. 4 matchup against the Avalanche. The speedy winger has recorded three goals and 30 shots on net over the first eight games of the year.

Fiala will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Friday for his hit on LA's Matt Roy during Thursday's win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Fiala was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for his hit on Roy, but he may still be facing additional discipline from the league. The Wild will begin a four-game series against the Avalanche on Saturday, but it remains to be seen if Fiala will be eligible to play in that contest.

Fiala scored a goal on his lone shot and had 15 PIM in Thursday's 5-3 win over Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Fiala found the back of the net for the third time in the last four games, but the bigger story was his ugly hit on the Kings' Matt Roy in the second period that netted Fiala a 5-minute boarding major and a 10-minute misconduct. The 24-year-old could be facing a suspension so fantasy managers should be monitoring the situation in the days ahead.

Fiala scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Fiala tied the game at 3-3 with his second goal in as many games in the third period. He appears to be thawing out from a season-opening cold streak. The Swiss winger now has two goals, 23 shots, eight PIM and eight hits through six appearances.

Fiala scored an empty-net goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Fiala's first goal of the year may have just been insurance in Friday's game, but it was a much-needed first point for the 24-year-old. He's contributed 20 shots on goal, six PIM and seven hits through five contests, but fantasy managers likely drafted Fiala for his scoring potential. He ended last year with 15 goals and 30 points in 28 games after the calendar flipped to January -- a slow start to 2020-21 shouldn't detract from what he's capable of doing when he's on his game. Fiala's a solid buy-low candidate at this stage of the season.

Fiala has no points and 13 shots while averaging 20:01 of ice time through two games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a career-highs in goals (23), assists (31) and points (54) last season, it's a bit concerning to see Fiala get off to a slow start this campaign. Coach Dean Evason clearly has confidence in the 24-year-old, as Fiala as averaged 5:41 of power-play time this season. Expect the points to start flowing as Fiala continues to see time in a top-six role and on the team's top power-play unit.

Fiala (undisclosed), as expected, practiced with the team Tuesday, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Wild were bounced in the opening round of the 2020 postseason, Fiala ended the campaign on a hot streak with 17 goals and 13 helpers in his final 22 games of the year including the playoffs. The Swiss winger will look to carry that into the upcoming season and will no doubt be tasked with increased responsibilities on the power play with Mats Zuccarello (arm) sidelined.

Fiala (undisclosed) didn't practice with his teammates in camp Monday but did some individual work afterwards, Jessi Pierce of Minnesota Hockey Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Pierce, coach Dean Evason labeled Fiala's absence from the main session as precautionary. With 10 days to go before the Wild's season opener, Fiala has plenty of time to recover from whatever's bothering him, and his ability to participate in some capacity at the end suggests he could be close to a return.

Fiala notched an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Fiala finished the series with three tallies and a helper, as well as 19 shots and 10 PIM. The 24-year-old winger has thrived under head coach Dean Evason, with a career-high 54 points (23 goals, 31 assists) in 64 outings in the 2019-20 regular season.

Fiala scored two goals on six shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Fiala scored twice in the final 2:29 of the contest, cutting the deficit to one goal, but the Wild still took the loss. The Swiss winger has been in fine form to start the series, with three goals and 11 shots in two games.
