The defender then moved to Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod , for which he spent the following three years in the Russian Super League . After relegation, he left the club and joined Salawat Yulayev Ufa , for which he was only on the ice for one season, as then for Metallurg Novokuznetsk . In the summer of 2004, the Kazakh was committed by his ex-club Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod, who in the meantime had been relegated back to the Wysschaya League immediately after being promoted again in 2004. With Torpedo, the former national player achieved promotion to the Superleague as a second division champion in the 2006/07 season. Since the 2008/09 season he played with his team in the newly founded Continental Hockey League . In 2010 he moved to league rival Barys Astana and completed over 150 KHL games for him by 2013, where he acted as assistant captain for two seasons.

Since May 2013 he has been under contract with Atlant Moskovskaya Oblast . Due to financial problems, Atlant withdrew from the game operation after the 2014/15 season and Novopashin moved together with some other players of the club to HK Spartak Moscow , which took over Atlants starting place. Nowopashin was used in some preparation games, but not licensed for the KHL.
