Kostin was expected to re-enter the Red Wings lineup after Dylan Larkin was injured on Saturday but will instead join Larkin on the injured reserve with an undisclosed injury. Kostin scored in his last game but has only one point (1G / 0A) in his last nine contests. The Red Wings have recalled Zach-Aston Reese and Austin Czarnik from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL.
Kostin was in the lineup for the last 10 games for the Red Wings, recording two points (1G / 1A), and will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday as the team will likely dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
Kostin has been cleared to play and will likely return to the Red Wings lineup on Thursday after missing the last three games with an undisclosed injury. Kostin has zero points and a -1 plus/minus rating in four games this season. He will likely play on the fourth line alongside Austin Czarnik and Christian Fischer.
Kostin was acquired from the Oilers earlier in the week and signed a two-year deal with the Red Wings, where he'll bring some offence and grit to their bottom-6. After being traded from St. Louis to Edmonton early last season, Kostin tallied 21 points (11G / 10A) and 157 hits across 57 games with the Oilers.
Kostin is an RFA, who was traded to the Oilers last October for Dmitri Samorukov. The 2017 No.31 overall pick, had 11 goals and 10 assists (21 points) in 57 games last season. Kostin is a big body (6-3, 215 lbs) who is not afraid to throw his weight around, averaging 2.8 hits per game in 2022-23.
"Klim Kostin will not play tomorrow. He had to go to Calgary today to get his work visa. He had a temporary one which allowed him to play in New Jersey and New York last week. Depending on how long it takes he might join the team in Minnesota for Thursday's game." - tweeted Jason Gregor. Kostin has yet to pick up a point through seven games while picking up 15 SOG playing limited minutes averaging 9:01 TOI.
With the unfortunate news that Evander Kane will be on the LTIR, Klim Kostin earned his first promotion to the Edmonton OIlers Wednesday. In nine games with Bakersfield, the 2017 1st round pick (31st overall) has two goals and four points to go along with 15 PIMs.
Kostin was a first-round pick (No.31 overall) in 2017 and cleared waivers on Friday. The 23-year-old forward split the 2022 season between the NHL and AHL. He had nine points (4G / 5A) in 40 games with the Blues. He'll report to Bakersfield (AHL) to start the 2023 season.
Kostin was the No.31 overall pick in 2017 and is set to make his NHL debut on Wednesday. The 22-year-old forward is coming off of a championship season in the KHL, where he had 12 goals and 15 assists (27 points) across 67 combined regular season and playoff games. He's expected to make his debut on the third line with Robert Thomas and Mike Hoffman.
