Khisamutdinov made his professional debut in his native Russia with original club, HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk, of the Kontinental Hockey League. On 1 May 2020, he was signed to a two-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the Montreal Canadiens.[2]

In the 2021–22 season, Khisamutdinov was assigned by the Canadiens to begin the year with secondary affiliate, the Trois-Rivières Lions in the ECHL. Collecting 5 points through 10 games, on December 9, 2021, Khisamutdinov was placed on unconditional waivers by the Canadiens for the purposes of contract termination. Having cleared waivers on December 10, 2021, the player's contract was terminated as mutually agreed.[3]

On December 18, 2021, Khisamutdinov reached a one-year agreement to return to the KHL, joining Latvian based club Dinamo Riga.[4] He registered 1 assist through just 5 games in his tenure with Riga.

With Dinamo Riga's withdrawal from the KHL due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Khisamutdinov continued in the KHL in securing a one-year contract with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg on 5 May 2022.[5]
