Three-point effort Sunday Fiala scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Devils.
Impact It's the second straight three-point performance and third straight multi-point effort for Fiala, who has caught fire at the right time for the Kings' playoff chances. The 27-year-old winger has found the back of the net in six of the last seven games, racking up six goals and 12 points over that stretch, and he sits one tally short of his fifth straight 20-goal campaign.

Racks up three points in win Fiala scored a power-play goal on three shots, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
Impact Fiala earned his third multi-point effort in the last four games. He's got five goals and four assists over his last six outings, stepping up as the Kings deal with injuries to Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) and Adrian Kempe (upper body). Fiala is up to 52 points (23 on the power play), 160 shots on net, 44 hits, 52 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 59 appearances. He's capable of going on extended hot streaks, so fantasy managers should keep Fiala active until he cools off.

Goal, assist in loss Fiala recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.
Impact Fiala set up Phillip Danault's opening tally in the second period before tying the game 2-2 later in the frame, backhanding a rebound over the glove of Jacob Markstrom. Fiala now has four goals and six points in his last five contests. He's up to 49 points (17 goals, 32 assists) through 58 games this season.

Two points in win Fiala scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks.
Impact After the Ducks scored on the power play in the first period, Fiala answered with one of his own for his 16th on the year. He added a secondary assist in the second period on a Drew Doughty goal, also on the power play. This is Fiala's third straight game with a goal. This streak follows a short slump after the All-Star break, where he went scoreless in five games. Fiala's recent scoring surge is encouraging for fantasy owners as he's shown the ability to perform even amidst team struggles, particularly on the power play.

Scores against former team Fiala scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Predators.
Impact Fiala has two goals and one assist over three games versus his former team this season, but he was the only King to score Thursday. The 27-year-old has tallied in consecutive contests following his five-game slump coming out of the All-Star break. The winger is up to 15 goals, 30 helpers, 143 shots on net and 52 PIM through 55 appearances in a top-six role.

Pads lead on power play Fiala scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Fiala snapped a five-game point drought with his third-period tally. The winger had 12 points over 15 outings in January, but he's been known to be streaky in his career. The 27-year-old is up to 14 goals, 44 points, 141 shots on net, 50 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 54 appearances. Aside from his February swoon, Fiala's been good this season, and scoring Tuesday may help him get back on track.
FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Nets lone goal in loss Fiala scored a power-play goal on four shots, added four PIM and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact Fiala's tally was the lone bright spot for the Kings in another tough defeat. The winger has actually been pretty good amid his team's struggles, racking up four goals and seven assists over his last 11 outings, a span that includes six power-play points. For the season, he's at 12 goals, 42 points (18 on the power play), 122 shots on net, 44 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 46 appearances in a top-six role.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Two tallies in Sunday's loss Fiala scored two goals, one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
Impact His tally early in the third period gave the Kings a 3-2 lead that eventually slipped away. Fiala has found the back of the net four times in the last six games, but those are his only points in his last eight contests -- a reversal of the 10-game stretch prior to that, when he had 10 helpers but no goals. On the season, Fiala has compiled 10 goals and 33 points in 36 contests, keeping him within striking distance of a third straight point-a-game campaign.

Strikes on power play Fiala scored a power-play goal on two shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Oilers.
Impact Fiala has a goal in two of the last three games after going 12 contests without one. On the flip side, he's now gone five games without an assist after flexing his playmaking for much of December. The winger remains a key part of the Kings' top six with eight goals, 23 helpers, 85 shots on net and 36 PIM through 33 appearances. He's earned 12 of his 31 points this year on the power play.

Nets equalizer Fiala scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
Impact Fiala had a turnover that led to the Sharks' goal, but he made up for it by tying the game at 1-1 in the second period. The 27-year-old winger snapped a 12-game goal drought dating back to Nov. 24, though he was productive with 10 assists and 30 shots in that span. He's up to seven tallies, 30 points, 80 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 31 appearances this season.

Garners two assists Tuesday Fiala registered a pair of assists and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Impact Fiala helped out on the Kings' first two goals in the game. The winger continues to flex his playmaking -- he has 10 helpers over his last 10 games, but he hasn't scored a goal in that stretch despite taking 27 shots on net. Fiala is up to 29 points (11 on the power play), 74 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 28 contests overall.

Deals helper in shootout win Fiala produced an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kraken.
Impact Fiala helped out on a Trevor Moore tally in the first period. While Fiala's goal drought is up to nine contests, he's produced eight assists in that span to retain solid fantasy value. The playmaking winger is up to 27 points (six goals, 21 helpers), 70 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 27 games this season. Fiala should continue to enjoy a second-line role at even strength as well as a spot on the top power-play unit, where he's earned 10 of his points.

Reaches 20-assist mark Fiala posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
Impact Fiala set up an Anze Kopitar tally in the first period. With seven helpers during his eight-game goal drought, Fiala continues to make an impact with playmaking. He's taken 22 shots on net in that span, so he's just a little unlucky to not see one get through. For the season, the talented winger has six goals, 20 assists, 69 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 26 outings. Ten of his points have come on the power play.

Three-game, five-apple streak Fiala picked two apples Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Impact Fiala fed a beauty cross-ice pass to Adrian Kempe at the right circle for a one-timer on the power play, and a 1-0 lead at 5:40 of the second frame. Vladislav Gavrikov took a feed from Fiala and wired a shot through a crowd 3:28 later to push the score to 2-0. The winger is on a three-game, five-assist scoring streak, and he has 25 points, including 19 apples, in 24 games. If he can sustain this pace, Fiala will flirt with a new career mark. He put up 33 goals and 52 assists (85 points) in his last season in Minny. His playmaking stands out more on the left coast, though. But more than a point per game stands on its own merits.

Crowns Ducks with two goals Fiala scored two goals in a 5-2 win over Anaheim on Friday.
Impact Fiala opened the scoring from just above the goal line on a first-period power play. He then made it 4-0 on a slick move after driving the net early in the second. Fiala credits his improving game to playing on a line with Trevor Moore and Phillip Danault. "We have the same type of vision," he said after the game. "All three guys are really fast going to the net. We cycle the puck, we grind down and also, defensively, we do a good job, so it's been good." Fiala has five points, including four goals, in his last four games, and 19 points (six goals, 13 assists) in 18 games on the season.
