Russian forward “Edmonton” Klim Kostin said that he does not specifically prepare for fights
Russian striker of the National Hockey League (NHL) Edmonton Oilers club Klim Kostin spoke about participating in fights during matches. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
According to the Russian, he does not analyze fights and does not specifically prepare for them. “It really doesn’t matter if you win or lose. The main thing is not to crap yourself and not show that you were scared. Grabbed an opponent by the sweater and waved your fist anywhere. That’s all,” said Kostin.
On January 10, in a match against the Los Angeles Kings, the forward got into a fight with the Canadian striker of the opposing team, Brendan Lemieux. Both players were punished with five-minute penalties, Kostin was given an additional ten minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Kostin, 23, has been playing for Edmonton since the start of this season. The Russian scored nine goals and made four assists in 32 regular season games.
