Playing career

Undrafted, Bakoš began his professional career within his native Slovakia, playing with Slovan Bratislava in the Slovak Extraliga in the 2007–08 season.[1][2][3]

After his 10th professional European season, having also played in the Czech Extraliga and Kontinental Hockey League, Bakoš opted to pursue his NHL aspirations in signing as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL) on 14 June 2018.[4] After attending the Bruins' training camp, Bakoš was assigned to begin the 2018–19 season with American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Providence Bruins.

Bakoš appeared in 16 games with Providence, collecting just three goals, before he was placed on unconditional waivers in order for a mutual termination of his contract by the Boston Bruins on 10 December 2018.[5] On 18 December, Bakoš signed with Sochi of the KHL until the end of the 2018–19 season.[6] He was productive in his short tenure with Sochi, collecting 15 points through 22 games.

As a free agent, Bakoš was signed to a one-year contract to continue in the KHL with Admiral Vladivostok on 21 June 2019.[7] In his lone season with Vladivostok, Bakoš was the club's leading scorer totalling 42 points in 61 games, however he was unable to prevent Admiral finishing as the lowest ranked Russian club in the 2019–20 season.

With the ambition to play in the post-season, Bakoš left Vladivostok as a free agent and signed a two-year contract with Spartak Moscow on 10 May 2020.[8]
