Kevin Fiala ended an eight-game NHL drought. The St. Gallois, who had not scored since November 5, scored his eighth success of the season in a game won 4-1 by Los Angeles against Nino Niederreiter’s Winnipeg Jets.
Fiala, who had only collected a meager assist in his last eight outings, made it 3-1 in the 46th minute when he saw his shot deflected by the skate of an opposing defender. The Kings dominated the proceedings (33 shots on target to 14) to inflict on the Jets, the best team in the League, a fifth defeat in 23 matches.
