During the 2021–22 season with Salavat, Mukhamadullin was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the New Jersey Devils on 1 December 2021. He was to remain on loan in the KHL with Salavat for the remainder of the season.[1] Following the playoffs exit with Salavat, Mukhamadullin was assigned by the Devils to join AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, for their post-season run. He made 3 appearances with the Comets, registering two assists.
On 14 July 2022, Mukhamadullin was re-assigned by the Devils to continue his development on loan with Salavat Yulaev Ufa for the 2022–23 season.[2] In an increased role in responsibility on the blueline for Salavat, Mukhamadullin established new career bests with 6 goals and 25 points through 67 regular season games.
On 26 February 2023, Mukhamadullin was traded by the New Jersey Devils to the San Jose Sharks in a blockbuster multi-player trade, which involved Timo Meier.[3] Helping Salavat place second in the Eastern Conference, he notched a 1 goal and 2 points through 6 playoff games in a upset quarterfinals defeat to Admiral Vladivostok.
