He has previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Buffalo Sabres. He is the son of Vladimir Antipin.
Playing career
Antipin joined the youth team of Metallurg Magnitogorsk as a 16-year old in the 2008–09 season. He made his debut in the Kontinental Hockey League on the blueline with Magnitogorsk in the 2010–11 season, appearing in 2 games.[1]
After six seasons and two Gagarin Cups with Metallurg Magnitogorsk, following the 2016–17 season, Antipin terminated his contract with the club in order to pursue his NHL ambitions on 1 May 2017.[2] He later signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Buffalo Sabres on 25 May 2017.[3] Antipin recorded his first NHL point on 24 October 2017 against the Detroit Red Wings.[4] Antipin missed 13 games in January due to an illness.[5] On 31 March 2018 Antipin was hit by Nashville Predators forward Scott Hartnell, suffering a concussion and broken nose from the hit.[6][7] He was ruled out indefinitely for the rest of the season.[8]
As a restricted free agent, Antipin was not qualified by the Sabres due to his falling on the depth chart on June 26, 2018.[9] On July 2, 2018, Antipin opted to return to former club, Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL, agreeing to a three-year contract.[10]
