Playing career

Nekolenko made his Kontinental Hockey League debut playing with Atlant Moscow Oblast during the 2012–13 KHL season. [1] In 2013, Nekolenko was traded to HC Spartak Moscow and split the season between the KHL and MHL, winning the MHL Championship [2] . He was then moved to Severstal Cherepovets before signing a one-year contract with Croatian-based entrant club, KHL Medveščak Zagreb on June 17, 2015. He was later released from his contract without featuring with Zagreb to sign a new one-year contract with Metallurg Novokuznetsk on July 31, 2015. In 2016, Nekolenko was called up to the Russian National Team and signed a two-year deal with Sibir Novosibirsk. [3] Nekolenko's time in Siberia was marred by a five-game suspension for throwing a puck at a referee [4] . Before the start of the 2017 season, Nekolenko was traded to HC Yugra in exchange for Alexander Makarov [5] . Just 3 months later, Nekolenko's contract was terminated as he fell out of favour with the new coach. [6] He was picked up by Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk, where he appeared in one playoff game.

After six seasons in his native country Russia in the KHL, Nekolenko opted to pursue a North American career, signing a one-year contract for the 2018–19 season with the Reading Royals in the ECHL on September 4, 2018. [7] After making 3 appearances with the Royals for 1 assist, Nekolenko was placed on waivers and claimed by the Newfoundland Growlers on November 12, 2018. [8] Nekolenko played 18 games with the Growlers, but was scratched for the entirety of their playoff run on their way to winning the Kelly Cup. [9]

Nekolenko, alongside Growlers teammate Semyon Babintsev, were inaugural members of ORG Beijing. [10] Nekolenko later left the club for Dizel Penza, where he finished the season. [11]
