For the 2010/11 season Bespalow was committed by Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod from the Continental Hockey League , but sent to the farm team, the HK Sarov from the Vysschaya Hockey League , at the start of the season . In the course of the following season he came to 12 KHL missions before his contract with Torpedo was extended in May 2012.

In December 2013, he moved to HK Sibir Novosibirsk in exchange for a right to vote in the KHL Junior Draft , where he was part of the permanent staff for the following three years. After the 2015/16 season he did not get a new contract with Sibir and therefore moved to HK Spartak Moscow .
