On March 28, 2008, he signed his first professional contract with the Atlanta Thrashers . In the 2008/09 season he was first used in the Thrashers' farm team, the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League . During the season, however, he was nominated twice to the NHL roster of the Thrashers. On March 16, 2009 he made his debut in his team's 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals . Also for the successor team of the Thrashers in the NHL , the Winnipeg Jets , he should come to 13 NHL appearances at the end of the 2011/12 season due to the failures of Tanner Glass and Kyle Wellwood and this time also scored points (9 points - 2 goals, 7 assists), after which his contract with the Jets was extended by one year.

In the 2012/13 season he was only used for the Jets farm team, the St. John's IceCaps , and was transferred to the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 10, 2013 in exchange for Tomáš Kubalík . From the Blue Jackets he was transferred to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Paul Thompson the following season , but played at both clubs only for their farm teams in the American Hockey League and received no new contract after the end of the season.

When Machacek was not signed after the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp , he moved to the German ice hockey league for the Augsburg Panthers for the 2014/15 season , where he was supposed to replace the injured Ryan Bayda . From the 2015/16 season Machacek played for league rivals Eisbären Berlin . In the 2017/18 season Machacek played for the Düsseldorfer EG . He then moved to the Grizzlys in Wolfsburg.
