Playing career
Yakovlev made his first appearance in the KHL with Ak Bars Kazan in the 2010–11 KHL season. On 20 October 2011, he signed a three-year contract with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, becoming the inaugural signing following the tragic 2011 plane crash that affected the team. Later, on 7 June 2015, he agreed to a three-year contract with KHL contender SKA Saint Petersburg.
On 21 May 2018, Yakovlev inked a one-year entry-level contract with the NHL's New Jersey Devils. He started the 2018–19 campaign with their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Devils, and made his NHL debut on 11 November against the Winnipeg Jets. Yakovlev netted his first NHL goal on 3 December in a defeat to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Throughout that season, he divided his time between New Jersey and Binghamton, accumulating 2 goals and 7 points over 25 NHL games.
After becoming a free agent, Yakovlev returned to Russia by signing a two-year deal with his hometown team, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, on 15 May 2019.
International play
On 23 January 2022, Yakovlev was selected to represent athletes of the Russian Olympic Committee at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
