Zach Kassian Gets Cut as Klim Kostin Finishes His Gordie Howe Hat-Trick

When the Oilers made the decision to trade Zack Kassian at the 2022 Entry Draft, they were obligated to move down in the draft in exchange for clearing salary off their books. The deal - unfortunate as it was - had to happen for the Oilers to improve their team.

On Wednesday night, the Oilers hosted Kassian and the Arizona Coyotes and laid an absolute beatdown. By a final score of 8-2, the Oilers took the Desert Dogs to the cleaners, outshooting their opponent 35-18 in the process.

Kassian's frustration was evident when he dropped the gloves with Klim Kostin, who already had a goal and an assists in the game. This was the Russian's first Gordie Howe Hat-Trick.
