Perspective
Khisamutdinov launched his professional ice hockey career in his native Russia, suiting up for HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk, the top-level team in his hometown, competing in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). After continuing his development in Russia, Khisamutdinov leaped into North American professional hockey when, on May 1, 2020, he signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Canadiens.[2]
During the 2021–22 season, Khisamutdinov was sent by the Canadiens to start the year with their ECHL affiliate, the Trois-Rivières Lions. After recording 5 points in 10 games, the Canadiens placed him on unconditional waivers on December 9, 2021, to terminate his contract. Once he cleared waivers the following day, his contract was officially ended by mutual agreement.[3]
On December 18, 2021, Khisamutdinov returned to Russia and signed a one-year agreement with Dinamo Riga, a Latvian-based team competing in the KHL.[4] During his tenure with Dinamo Riga, Khisamutdinov saw limited action, appearing in just five games and contributing one assist.
Following the withdrawal of Dinamo Riga from the KHL as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing geopolitical tensions, Khisamutdinov sought to continue his professional career in the KHL. On May 5, 2022, he secured a one-year contract with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg.[5]
