Playing career

Polygalov previously joined Traktor Chelyabinsk prior to the 2017–18 season, after spending the previous 9 seasons in the KHL with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk.[1] While scoring 28 points in 56 games in his first season in Chelyabinsk, Polygalov was signed to a two-year contract extension on February 15, 2018.[2]

On July 16, 2019, Polygalov left Chelyabinsk to sign a one-year contract with his sixth top flight club, HC Dynamo Moscow.[3] In his lone season under contract in 2019–20, he contributed with 8 goals and 14 points in 47 games. With the playoffs cancelled after completion of the first-round due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Polygalov left the club as a free agent.[4]

On 28 June 2020, Polygalov returned for a second tenure with Traktor Chelyabinsk, agreeing to a one-year contract.[5]
