Playing career

He made his professional debut in the Kontinental Hockey League to start the 2024–25 season with HC Dynamo Moscow, going scoreless through 2 appearances. In order to pursue his North American ambitions, Ryabkin joined junior club Muskegon Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League (USHL) after terminating his contract with Dynamo Moscow. He received a three-game suspension for a slew-foot January 4, 2025.[3] He completed the season, featuring amongst the Lumberjacks top scorers in posting a point-per-game pace with 19 goals and 30 points through 27 games.
Ryabkin was ranked and considered as one of the top Russian prospects eligible for the 2025 NHL entry draft.[4][5] Following his selection in the second round by the Carolina Hurricanes, Ryabkin was later signed to a three-year, entry-level contract on 27 August 2025.[6]
