After playing exclusively for the Islanders' farm team, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers , in the American Hockey League in the 2017/18 season , he decided to return to Dinamo Riga. In October 2019 he was dismissed after an unsuccessful start to the 2019/20 season and replaced by Alexander Salák . Then the Fischtown Pinguins signed him in December 2019, for which he had completed 26 assignments in the DEL by the end of the season .

At the U20 Junior World Cup in 2012 , he was the national team's regular goalkeeper, played five tournament games and was able to achieve relegation with the national team in the relegation round. In 2013 he was appointed to the men's national team for the first time and made it into the world championship squad. At the world championships in Helsinki he took turns with Edgars Masaļskis in goal and showed convincing performances with a catch rate of 92.5% and an average goal against 2.22.
