On 4 July 2020, Galuzin continued his career in the KHL by agreeing to a one-year contract with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk.[4] In his lone season with Nizhnekamsk in 2020–21, Galuzin contributed with 5 goals and 18 points through 44 regular season games.
As a free agent, Galuzin signed a one-year contract with his fifth KHL club, Amur Khabarovsk, on 11 May 2021.[5]
