Signs entry-level contract

DCarolina Hurricanes

April 11, 2025

Nikishin signed a two-year, entry-level contract with Carolina on Friday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

CAR

Set to sign with club

DCarolina Hurricanes

April 11, 2025

Nikishin's contract with SKA St. Petersburg was terminated Friday, clearing the way for him to sign with the Hurricanes immediately, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

ANALYSIS
Nikishin's deal with SKA was set to expire in June regardless, but the mutual termination will allow him to link up with Carolina ahead of the postseason. The termination isn't a complete loss for SKA as it allows the KHL club to maintain Nikishin's player rights should he ever return. In 61 regular-season games this year, the 23-year-old defenseman registered 17 goals and 29 helpers but missed the 50-point threshold for the first time since 2021-22 when he was with Spartak Moscow.
