In his first season in the NHL (1996–97) Berezin scored 25 goals and had 41 points in 73 games. This production was enough to earn a spot on the NHL all-rookie team.

Over the next two seasons, Berezin would play for four different NHL franchises. In 2001-2002 Berezin played for the Coyotes and the Montreal Canadiens.
