In a dismal 5-1 loss to the Canadians<\/a> on Friday afternoon, Swiss forward Kevin Fiala<\/a> sustained an injury late in the third period. Tom Wilson<\/a> appeared to fall on Fiala’s leg after a hit, resulting in a nasty injury that required a stretcher. Swiss players Denis Malgin<\/a> and Andrea Glauser also did not finish Friday’s game due to injury. It has been a rough Olympics for both Canada and Switzerland, with Josh Morrissey<\/a> already being out for this game<\/a>. That saw defenceman Travis Sanheim<\/a> draw in Friday’s game for Canada.<\/p>\n
