Former Wild Forward Named To Team Switzerland Olympic Roster

On Monday morning Team Switzerland selected its preliminary six players for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics.

The Winter Games is 234 days away. Each team announced the first six players for their roster on Monday. Today, we look at Switzerland. 

Former Minnesota Wild forward Kevin Fiala was one of the six players that Switzerland announced to the roster. He joins another former Wild player in Nino Niederreiter. 

Fiala, 28, spent four seasons with the Wild from 2018 to 2022 before he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings where he has been for the last three seasons. 

He was originally acquired from the Nashville Predators for Mikael Granlund in 2018. He recorded 79 goals, 107 assists, and 186 points in 215 career games with the Wild. 

The 5-foot-11 forward broke a single season Wild assist record during the 2021-22 season which was his last year with the Wild. He had 33 goals, 52 assists, and 85 points that year.
