Shtalenkov was drafted by the Nashville Predators in 1998 NHL Expansion Draft.

However, he was later acquired by the Phoenix Coyotes and became Nikolai Khabibulin’s backup. Shtalenkov was traded to the Florida Panthers again for Sean Burke after only a few games in Phoenix in 1999. Shtalenkov was traded to Dynamo Moscow in 2000 and then retired from hockey in 2002.

This ended the 13-year reign of rival CSKA Moscow. Shtalenkov, Myshkin and Myshkin split their playing time nearly evenly. Dynamo won the championship in 1991 and 1992 with Shtalenkov as the starting goaltender. He was also the Soviet national team’s starting goaltender by the 1991-92 season.

He managed to keep Canada’s undefeated team to a 3-3 tie at the 1991 Canada Cup. He was the Unified Team’s starting goaltender at the 1992 Winter Olympics and won a gold medal. Although he was the 3rd goalie in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey Russia, he played against Germany in an Exhibition game in Landshut, Germany. Shtalenkov led a team without many top players due to injuries and players declining. The team won a silver medal with Russia, winning 4 of 5 games at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano.

After one season, he was drafted 108th overall by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 1993 and spent five seasons with the team. He originally began with the IHL’s San Diego Gulls, but received the call-up to the Mighty Ducks after Ron Tugnutt was traded to the Montreal Canadiens and Shtalenkov served as back-up to Guy Hebert and would continue to do so until the 1997-98 season. During the 1997 Play Offs against Detroit he took over for Guy Hebert who suffered a knee injury in Game 2 and performed very well forcing the Red Wings into overtime in every game, facing 162 shots in the series. In Game 4 he registered 70 saves in a double overtime loss. Under new head coach Pierre Page he saw more ice time and became their starting goalie in 97/98 on March 8, 1998 after Guy Hebert suffered a severe shoulder injury forcing him to miss the remainder of the season. He appeared in 18 of the last 21 games playing a career-high 40 games.
