Playing career
Gritsyuk was drafted in the fifth round, 129th overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 2019 NHL entry draft.[1][2] He made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut for Avangard Omsk during the 2020–21 season where he recorded one goal and one assist in 12 games and won the Gagarin Cup.[3] On 30 April 2021, he signed a two-year contract extension with Avangard Omsk.[4]
Following the 2021–22 season, in which he recorded 16 goals and 28 points in 39 KHL games, Gritsyuk was named KHL rookie of the year.[5]
Having concluded his contract with Omsk, Gritsyuk remained un-signed from the Devils while his KHL rights were acquired by perennial contender SKA Saint Petersburg on 27 May 2023. He was signed soon after to a two-year contract extension to remain with SKA through 2025.[6]
On 7 May 2025, having concluded his contract in the KHL, Gritsyuk moved to North America after he was signed to a one-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the New Jersey Devils for the 2025–26 season.[7]
