Sergei Shumakov (born 4 September 1992) is a Russian professional ice hockey forward who is currently an unrestricted free agent. He most recently played for HC Lada Togliatti in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Playing career

Undrafted, Shumakov made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut with HC Sibir Novosibirsk during the 2011–12 season. ^[1]

After the 2016–17 season, his seventh year in the KHL with Novosibirsk, Shumakov was traded along with Maxim Shalunov and Konstantin Okulov to HC CSKA Moscow in exchange for Alexander Sharov and financial compensation on the opening day of free agency on 1 May 2017. ^[2] In his first season with CSKA in 2017–18, Shumakov responded to his change of scenery in recording a personal high 23 assists and 40 points in 47 regular season games.^{[ citation needed ]}

On 27 August 2018, CSKA Moscow terminated their contract with Shumakov prior to the 2018–19 season. The following week, with ambition to embark on a career in the NHL, he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Washington Capitals on 1 September 2018. ^{[3] [4]} On 7 December, with Shumakov unable to earn a recall to the NHL and having registered four points in 10 games with AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, the Capitals mutually terminated the contract with Shumakov. ^[5] He was quickly signed as a free agent to a professional try-out to continue in the AHL, agreeing with the Springfield Thunderbirds, affiliate to the Florida Panthers on 8 December. ^[6] He appeared in three games, scoring one goal with the Thunderbirds before ending his tryout on 13 December. Shumakov ended his North American stint and opted for an immediate return to the KHL, agreeing to a three-year contract with Avangard Omsk, on 19 December. ^[7]

During the 2020–21 season, in the midst of his third season with Avangard, Shumakov registered 8 goals and 13 points through 28 games before he was traded by Omsk to Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg in exchange for financial compensation on 9 December 2020. ^[8]

Following a season split between Traktor Chelyabinsk and HC Dinamo Minsk, Shumakov left as a free agent and was signed to a one-year contract for the return of Lada Togliatti to the KHL for the 2023–24 season on 21 June 2023. ^[9]
