Avangard Hockey Club has signed forward Klim Kostin to a contract for the remainder of the season. Kostin previously won the Gagarin Cup with the Omsk team.

Alexei Sopin, Avangard HC General Manager:

— We are happy to have Klim back with Anangard. Obviously, a lot of time has passed since our initial offer, so we needed to renegotiate all the terms. Kostin is familiar with the demands of North American coaches, has a successful KHL experience, and can play in any situation. He will have his first practice today and will go to the Far East road trip with the team.

The 26-year-old forward has spent the latest few seasons in North America. In 202 NHL games, he scored 58 points (28 goals, 30 assists) and was minus-7. In the KHL, he played 75 games, scored 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) and was plus-12.

Klim Kostin will be wearing number 24.
