On 1 May 2019, Galuzin agreed to a two-year contract with Metallurg Magnitogorsk.[2] In the 2019–20 season, Galuzin struggled to adapt with Magnitogorsk in producing just 1 goal and 2 points in 17 games. On 17 December 2019, Galuzin left Metallurg on mutual grounds to join his third KHL club, Ak Bars Kazan, on a two-year deal.[3]
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]
