Playing career

On 4 May 2017, he signed with the Vegas Golden Knights making him the second person in history to be signed by the Golden Knights.[2] On 15 October, he made his debut for the Golden Knights against the Boston Bruins and scored his first NHL goal on Bruins' goaltender Tuukka Rask. On 29 October, he was suspended by the Golden Knights for failing to report to their AHL affiliate.[3] The following day, it was announced that he had decided to return to Russia, and that his contract would be terminated as soon as he had cleared unconditional waivers.[4] On 9 November, the Golden Knights announced that their contract with Shipachyov was terminated,[5] and that he was able to return to play in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[6]

On 11 November, Shipachyov signed with SKA Saint Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for the remainder of the 2017–18 KHL season.[7] In 22 regular season games, Shipachyov tallied 25 points, helping SKA finish top of the league. In the post-season, he was unable to help SKA repeat as champions, losing in the conference finals against CSKA Moscow contributing 11 points in 14 games.

As a free agent after completing his 5th season with St. Petersburg, Shipachyov left to sign a two-year contract with Dynamo Moscow on May 17, 2018.[8]
