Nikita Chibrikov's story
Growing up in Moscow, Nikita Chibrikov came through the city’s club system, moving from CSKA’s youth setup to Dinamo’s programs and earning a place with MHK Dinamo Moscou for the 2019–2020 MHL season. Those early junior campaigns put him on the map and prepared him for professional competition.
He broke into the KHL with SKA Saint Petersburg during the 2020–2021 campaign and remained in the league for multiple seasons. On 31 July 2022 he was part of a multi-player trade that sent him from SKA to Spartak Moscow. After completing his third KHL season in 2022–2023, Winnipeg signed him to a three-year entry-level contract on 1 May 2023 and immediately assigned him to their AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, for the remainder of their playoff run.
Chibrikov’s North American transition produced steady production: over two AHL seasons he compiled 65 points (24 goals, 41 assists) in 100 games with the Moose. He made his NHL debut on 18 April 2024 with the Winnipeg Jets and scored the game-winning goal in that regular-season finale. That initial impact continued into the following seasons; in one stretch he posted two goals and an assist in four games and became the first player in Jets franchise history to score in each of his first three NHL appearances.
His progress hit a setback when a season-ending injury occurred while he was back with the Moose, but he returned healthy for 2025–2026 and signed a two-year contract extension carrying an average annual value of $875,000. The club’s injury picture among forwards opened a larger role for him early in 2025–2026.
On the ice, Chibrikov is noted for his offensive instincts and his ability to contribute both goals and playmaking. Those traits earned him a top-six opportunity to start the 2025–2026 season, skating alongside experienced forwards such as Jonathan Toews and Gustav Nyquist.
