[edit] Playing career
Vishnevskiy plays as a defenceman and was selected 27th overall in the first round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars. Ivan was drafted from the QMJHL where he was Rouyn-Noranda Huskies second pick in the 2005 CHL Import Draft and was selected for the 2006 Top Prospects game. On July 18, 2007, Vishnevskiy was signed by the Dallas Stars to a three-year entry level contract.[1]
After playing an additional season of junior with the Huskies, Ivan made his professional debut in the 2008–09 season with the Peoria Rivermen of the American Hockey League. With the Stars already eliminated from the post-season, Ivan was recalled from loan with the Rivermen and made his NHL debut with the Stars against the Minnesota Wild on April 7, 2009.[2] Two days later he posted his first NHL point, an assist, in a victory against the Colorado Avalanche.[3] He played in three games with the Stars before he was re-assigned to join the Rivermen in the playoffs.
Vishnevskiy was assigned to the Stars new AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, to start the 2009–10 season. He appeared in two games with Dallas and gained league attention when he mistakingly lost control of the puck to score into his own net with the goaltender pulled against the San Jose Sharks on December 21, 2009.[4][5] Returned to the AHL he was leading Texas defensemen with 8 goals when on February 9, 2010, he was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers along with a fourth round pick (Ivan Telegin) in 2010 for goaltender Kari Lehtonen.[6] Ivan was then assigned to the Thrashers AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, for the remainder of the season.
In the 2010–11 off-season, Vishnevskiy's tenure with Atlanta was short-lived when he was traded along with a 2nd round pick in 2011 to the newly crowned Stanley Cup champions, the Chicago Blackhawks, for Andrew Ladd on July 1, 2010.[7]
Assigned to the Blackhawks AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, for the entirety of the 2010–11 season, Vishnevskiy then signed a one-year contract with Atlant Mytishchi of the Russian KHL on May 17, 2011.[8]
