Nashville Predators assign Kevin Fiala to the Milwaukee Admirals

“We feel that Kevin’s development into an NHL-ready player is best served by playing the duration of the 2014-15 season under the guidance of Milwaukee Head Coach Dean Evason and Assistant Coach Stan Drulia in the Predators system," Nashville's general manager David Poile says. "By getting a head start on the acclimation process to the North American style of play and smaller rinks, we expect Kevin will continue his growth as a dynamic offensive prospect.”

This season, the native of St. Gallen has played 20 games for HV71 Jönköping in Sweden's Elite-league and posted 14 points (five goals, 9 assists). He was drafted as 11th overall by the Nashville Predators in last year's NHL Entry Draft. (tme)
