In the second period, American Indians forward Connor Murphy hit fellow Detroiter Andrew Coppe. Kostin immediately defended his teammate, fighting with Murphy. Klim threw Connor onto the ice and, in this state, inflicted a few blows on him.
As a result of the incident, the 24-year-old Russian received a two-minute penalty for rudeness, an additional two minutes for pushing with a stick and ten minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct.
This NHL season, Klim Kostin played 18 games and scored 3 (1+2) points using the goal+pass system with 27 penalty minutes.
