On 21 April 2018, Chekhovich was signed by the San Jose Sharks in the last round of the2017 NHL Entry Draft to a three-year, entry-level contract.[2]
With the2020–21 North American season set to be delayed by theCOVID-19 pandemic, Chekhovich was loaned by the Sharks to remain in his native Russia, on a season-long agreement withTorpedo Nizhny Novgorod of theKontinental Hockey League (KHL).[3] Chekhovich made his KHL debut during the2020–21 KHL season and was among the leading rookie scorers in the league, placing fourth in team scoring with 17 goals and 34 points through 43 regular season games.

On 31 August 2021, with a contract offer to return to Torpedo, Chekhovich opted to mutually terminate the remaining year of his entry-level contract with the Sharks and was placed on unconditional waivers on 31 August 2021.[5] Unclaimed and as a free agent, Chekhovich returned to Torpedo on a one-year contract on the opening day of the2021–22 season on 1 September 2021.[6]
On 23 May 2022, Chekhovich left Torpedo as he was traded to fellow KHL clubLokomotiv Yaroslavl, in exchange for prospects and financial compensation. He was immediately signed to a three-year contract extension to remain with Lokomotiv until 2025.[7]
