In the relegation round, he chipped in with three goals and dealt out eleven assists in twelve games.
On June 5, 2016, he signed with Brynäs IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).[6]
During the 2018–19 season, having appeared in 38 games with Dinamo Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), Clark left the club to sign a three-year contract in a return to Switzerland with SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers on January 3, 2019.[7]
