In the 1992 NHL Entry Draft , Róbert Petrovický was selected ninth in the first round by the Hartford Whalers .

From 1992 Petrovický then played with varying success in the NHL for the Whalers, so that he was often used in the AHL with the Springfield Indians . In November 1995 he was given to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Dan Kesa , where he was again mainly used in the farm teams . In the 1996/97 season he completed a total of 46 missions for the St. Louis Blues in the NHL, but played in the following season only for their farm team, the Worcester IceCats .

His next stop in the NHL was the Tampa Bay Lightning , for which he played 71 NHL games in two seasons. In the summer of 2000, he joined the New York Islanders as a free agent . He played eleven NHL games for the Islanders and 23 games for their farm team in Chicago , but moved to the Swedish Elitserien at MoDo Hockey Örnsköldsvik at the end of the season .

After a Slovak club was accepted into the KHL for the first time in the 2010/11 season with HC Lev Poprad , he signed with the KHL newcomer.
