Edmonton Oilers shake up lineup ahead of a game against Bruins
Kostin's recall follows a solid performance in the AHL. The 23-year-old has played 21 games for the Bakersfield Condors, recording six goals and seven assists for a total of 13 points. He has previously played for the SKA St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) before joining the Condors.
On the other hand, Shore's demotion to the AHL comes after a lacklustre performance in the NHL. He has only recorded one goal and two assists in 25 games this season. The Oilers hope that a stint in the AHL will allow Shore to regain his confidence and improve his overall game.
The Oilers currently sit in fourth place in the Pacific Division with a record of 24 wins, 15 losses, and two overtime losses. They will be hoping that the addition of Kostin to their lineup will help them improve their form and secure a playoff spot.
