Outperforms Meier
Fiala shines with first LA hat trick
Kevin Fiala is currently on a run. First he is nominated for the All-Star Game for the first time, then he scores the maiden hat-trick for his new club.
Finally, the goal into the empty goal: Kevin Fiala completes the hat trick.
Kevin Fiala’s first-time All-Star Game nomination obviously gave Kevin Fiala an extra boost.
The native of St. Gallen sinks the puck three times in the 5-1 away win of the Los Angeles Kings against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Fiala opens the score in the Western Conference top flight with a wrist shot from the blue line. The goal to make it 3-0 is worth seeing. The Swiss delays firing until he sees the gap. The third stroke succeeds with a shot into the empty goal. Fiala has scored more than one goal in a game for the first time since joining the Los Angeles Kings last summer.
With the hat trick, Fiala replaces Timo Meier at the top of the Swiss scorer list in the NHL. Goals number 11 to 13 and 29 assists result in 42 points. Meier, who lost 4-2 with the San Jose Sharks against the Boston Bruins on Sunday night, has 40 points. (SDA)
