The Edmonton Oilers acquired forward Klim Kostin from the St. Louis Blues on Sunday in exchange for defenseman Dmitri Samorukov.

Kostin, 23, was a first-round draft pick (31st overall) by the Blues in 2017 and has notched 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 46 games over the past three seasons.

Samorukov, 23, was a third-round selection by the Oilers in 2017. He played in just one game for Edmonton, which happened to be 4-2 loss at St. Louis on Dec. 29, 2021.

The Oilers will open the regular season at home Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The Blues begin their season at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.
