Playing career

[edit]

Shalunov grew up playing youth hockey in Russia.

During the 2010–11 MHL season, Shalunov played with the Belye Medvedi, the Junior Hockey League (MHL) team, which contains hockey players from the school affiliated with the Traktor Chelyabinsk KHL team. He also played six games with Traktor in the KHL during the 2010–11 KHL season.[1]

After being drafted by the Blackhawks, Shalunov returned to Russia and played the 2011–12 MHL season with Belye Medvedi. During the 2012-2013 season, Shalunov's time was divided between Belye Medvedi as well as Traktor's VHL team, Chelmet Chelyabinsk. He also played one game with Traktor.

Shalunov played in North America during the 2013–14 season. He started the season with the Rockford IceHogs, the Blackhawks' American Hockey League affiliate.[2] After registering four assists in twenty games with Rockford, Shalunov was assigned to the Toledo Walleye, the Blackhawks' ECHL affiliate where he contributed with 18 goals and 34 points in 43 games.

On July 28, 2014, Shalunov returned to his native Russia, signing a one-year contract with HC Sibir Novosibirsk of the KHL.[3]

After the 2016–17 season, his third year with Novosibirsk, Shalunov was traded along with Sergei Shumakov and Konstantin Okulov to HC CSKA Moscow in exchange for Alexander Sharov and financial compensation on the opening day of free agency on May 1, 2017.[4]
