Following five further seasons in the Liiga, Tuohimaa as a free agent following the 2020–21 campaign and was signed to a one-year Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) contract with Russian club, HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk, on 16 May 2021.[5] Tuohimaa made 26 regular season appearances with Neftekhimik, registering nine wins and a 2.53 goals against average. In March 2022, Tuohimaa left Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk during playoffs due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[6]

On 17 May 2022, Tuohimaa opted to return to the Finnish Liiga, securing a one-year contract with Mikkelin Jukurit. In the 2022–23 season, Tuohimaa playing behind a porous defence collected 11 wins through 34 regular season games. With Jukurit out of post-season contention, Tuohimaa left the Liiga and signed for the remainder of the season with Swedish club, Skellefteå AIK of the SHL, on 15 February 2023.[7]
