Playing career
Svetlakov began his junior career at just 16 years old, playing in the Junior Hockey League (MHL), Russia's top junior league, where he suited up for Krasnaya Armiya. His strong performances in the MHL earned him a call-up to the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), and he made his professional debut with HC CSKA Moscow during the 2015–16 KHL season.[1]
Throughout the 2022–23 season, Svetlakov showcased his offensive talents by achieving career-high statistics while playing for CSKA Moscow. On February 23, 2023, the Wild, who held his NHL rights, traded those rights to the Boston Bruins. This transaction was part of a complex three-team trade involving the Wild, the Bruins, and the Washington Capitals.[2]
After finishing the 2023–24 season, marking his ninth year in the KHL and winning three Gagarin Cup titles with CSKA Moscow, Svetlakov departed the team as a free agent. On 7 May 2024, he signed a three-year deal with another KHL club, Traktor Chelyabinsk.[3]
