Playing career

In his native Russia, Bereglazov played as a youth within the junior system of Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was selected by Metallurg in the third round, 82nd overall, in the 2011 KHL Junior Draft. Bereglazov made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut playing with his hometown Magnitogorsk during the 2013–14 KHL season.^[1]

After the 2016–17 season, Bereglazov signed as an undrafted free agent to his first North American contract, agreeing to a two-year, entry-level contract with the New York Rangers on April 21, 2017.^[2]

After attending the Rangers training camp, Bereglazov was reassigned to begin the 2017–18 season with their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. He appeared in 13 games with the Wolf Pack, posting 4 points, before he was returned on loan to his Russian club, Magnitogorsk, on November 6, 2017.^[3] Bereglazov played out the season, contributing with 3 assists in 25 games in Magnitogorsk.

On April 10, 2018, Bereglazov was placed on unconditional waivers by the Rangers, paving the way for a mutual termination of the final year of his contract with the Rangers.^[4] He immediately returned to his native Russia, rejoining his original club, Metallurg Magnitogorsk.^{[citation needed]}

After three further seasons with Metallurg, with the cancellation of the playoffs to end the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bereglazov was traded to Avangard Omsk along with Ilya Kablukov in exchange for Taylor Beck on 4 June 2020.^[5]

After three seasons with Omsk, Bereglazov left as a free agent and was signed to a two-year contract with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on 3 May 2023.^[6] On 21 May 2025, he became the only player to win 3 Gagarin Cups with 3 different clubs.^[7]
