On May 14, 2018, Sudnitsin signed as a free agent for his third KHL club, Traktor Chelyabinsk, agreeing to a two-year contract.[1] After appearing in 24 games for Chelyabinsk in the 2018–19 season, Sudnitsin left early in his contract to sign a one-year contract with Gagarin Cup finalists, Avangard Omsk, on 4 July 2019.[2]
In returning to Traktor Chelyabinsk for the 2020–21 season, Sudnitsin was re-assigned to play exclusively in the VHL with Chelmet Chelyabinsk, collecting 3 wins in 12 games before leaving the club on 14 February 2021, and signing his first contract abroad with Swedish top tier club, IK Oskarshamn of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).[3]
Sudnitsin returned to Russia for the following 2021–22 season, beginning the campaign with Izhstal Izhevsk in the VHL before returning to original KHL club, Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk, on 18 October 2021.[4]
