Collecting 5 points through 10 games, on December 9, 2021, Khisamutdinov was placed on unconditional waivers by the Canadiens for the purposes of contract termination. Having cleared waivers on December 10, 2021, the player's contract was terminated as mutually agreed.[3]

On December 18, 2021, Khisamutdinov reached a one-year agreement to return to the KHL, joining Latvian based club Dinamo Riga.[4] He registered 1 assist through just 5 games in his tenure with Riga.
