Nashville Predators forward Kevin Fiala broke his left leg in Wednesday night's Game 1 against the St. Louis Blues and is out of the playoffs, the team announced.
"During last night's game, Kevin Fiala sustained a fracture of his left femur," Predators general manager David Poile said in a statement. "He underwent successful surgery at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis and is resting comfortably.
"He is extremely disappointed that he will not be able to help his teammates in their quest for the Stanley Cup, but is looking forward to starting his rehabilitation upon his return to Nashville.
