Kostin will draw out of the lineup alongside Henry Thrun and Givani Smith as the Sharks opt to get some fresh bodies into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Will Smith, Ethan Cardwell, and Jack Thompson will enter the lineup in their place.

With Will Smith missing another game as part of a development strategy to ease him into NHL action, Kostin will re-enter the Sharks lineup on Monday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 25-year-old Kostin is averaging 8:45 time-on-ice through six games this season and has zero points.

Kostin did not play on Sunday due to an illness but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. The 24-year-old Kotin has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 47 games this season.

Kostin was dealt to San Jose as part of a trade deadline deal on Friday and is expected to make his Sharks' debut on Saturday vs. Ottawa. The 24-year-old had struggled in his first season in Detroit, with only three goals, one assist, 22 SOG, 38 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 33 games before being traded.

Kostin was in and out of the lineup for the Detroit Red Wings this season, being a healthy scratch for most of the last month. The 24-year-old Kostin has four points (3G / 1A) in 33 games this season.
