Playing career
Gavrikov made his KHL debut playing with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl during the 2014–15 KHL season.
With his development steadily progressing during his four senior years with Lokomotiv, his KHL rights were traded by Yaroslavl to powerhouse club, SKA Saint Petersburg following the 2016–17 season. With the Blue Jackets hopeful of signing the Russian, he was earlier offered a contract and then invited by the Blue Jackets to a tour of Columbus. Despite his arrival on June 27, 2017, Gavrikov surprised the Blue Jackets by announcing he had agreed to a two-year contract to remain in Russia with SKA.
