Russian strikerEdmonton Oilers » Klim Kostin said he did not avoid a fight with Arizona Coyotes hockey player Zach Kassian during the NHL regular season game.
Kostin on Wednesday in the game with “Arizona” (8:2) scored the puck, gave an assist and took part in the fight, throwing the so-called hat trick for Gordie Howe.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time. Kicking goals in front of our fans is an incredible feeling. Cassian first hit me with his stick and then grabbed me by the neck. I thought: ‘D’ Okay, fights are inevitable. Usually I don’t look for fights, I want to enjoy the game, the hockey. But if a fight happens, I won’t avoid it.
The coach said he wanted to see me as a power forward. It doesn’t mean I have to punch everyone and fight, just play and help the team the best I can,” Kostin said in a video posted to Edmonton’s Twitter page.
Kostin has played in 11 regular season games this season, scoring two goals and one assist.
