Date News Advice
May 15, 2025 Nikishin made his NHL debut in a 3-1 win over Washington in Game 5 on Thursday. - Nikishin had two shots on goal in 10:33 of ice time. He replaced and injured Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) on the Canes third pair with Shayne Gostisbehere. Nikishin had been practicing with the Canes since agreeing to a two-year contract on April 11. It will take some time for him to get comfortable on NHL ice, but so far, so good. Nikishin had 46 points (17 goals, 29 assists) in 61 KHL games with SKA St. Petersburg this season. He finished his KHL career as SKA's all-time leader in scoring by a defender with 177 points, including 54 goals, in 288 games. Nikishin was also named KHL Defenseman of the Month seven times in three seasons with SKA. None
April 11, 2025 Nikishin signed a two-year, entry-level contract with Carolina on Friday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports. - Nikishin was selected 69th overall in 2020 and his stock has risen sharply since then, potting 17 goals and adding 29 assists in 61 KHL games with St. Petersburg SKA in 2024-25. The defenseman has a Conn Smythe bonus built into his contract and he should see plenty of action come playoff time with the Hurricanes. Nikishin should also receive a lot of power-play time and might quarterback their first unit as early as next season. None
