He played in the [[National Hockey League]] with the [[Nashville Predators]] and [[Chicago Blackhawks]] between 2000 and 2007, and then in the [[Kontinental Hockey League]] between 2008 and 2013. Internationally Arkhipov played for the [[Russia men's national ice hockey team|Russian national team]] at the junior and senior level, including the [[2003 IIHF World Championship|2003]] and [[2006 IIHF World Championship|2006 World Championships]].

==Playing career==
Arkhipov was selected 60th overall in the third round of the [[1998 NHL Entry Draft]], the second choice of the [[Nashville Predators]].

He made his [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) debut on January 8, 2001 in a 2–1 loss against the [[Vancouver Canucks]] in Vancouver. During this game he notched his first NHL point when he got an assist on a [[Richard Lintner]] goal against [[Bob Essensa]]. Two days later he scored his first NHL goal in a 5–2 win at the [[Edmonton Oilers]]. He scored when he took a [[Scott Hartnell]] pass and got it past [[Tommy Salo]]. He also got an assist on a [[Marián Cisár]] goal to make this his first ever NHL multi-point game.

In the [[2001–02 NHL season]] he played in all 82 games with a career high 42 points. He led the Predators in goals, game-winning goals (6) and shooting percentage (16.9%). That year he centered the "Vowel Line" which also included, [[Vladimír Országh]] on right wing, and [[Martin Erat]] at left wing. They were called the ''Vowel Line'' because their last names all start with vowels.

Arkhipov played the 2004–05 NHL [[2004–05 NHL lockout|lockout season]] in the Russian Super League, and remained there for the 2005–06 season before signing as a free agent with the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] on July 6, 2006.
