|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Klim Kostin | Note | Finally starting to look like he's back to form and finding a steady rhythm after having missed all of that time with the injury in his draft year. Seems more like the player I remember from two years ago. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/29/2017 |
| Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin with a good centering pass with two USA defenders draped on him in the corner. Follows that play up with another good pass to the defender. Good vision on the plays. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | Stream | 12/15/2016 |

| Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin on a few plays I’ve noted has done more fly-by skating using his stick than to physically contend for the puck. He’s a physical specimen at this level, would like to see more engagement. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | Stream | 12/15/2016 |
