On September 29, 2013, Gazdic was claimed on
waivers by the
Edmonton Oilers from the
Dallas Stars. Playing on opening night of the
2013–14 NHL season, Gazdic made his NHL debut on October 1, 2013, and scored his first NHL goal at 2:21 of the first period past
Winnipeg Jets' goalie
Ondrej Pavelec, to record the first goal of the
2013–14 Edmonton Oilers season. He made eight points in his time with the Oilers, playing as an enforcer. He appeared in 11 games throughout the
2016–17 season with the Devils. On July 2, 2017, Gazdic returned to Canada as a free agent in signing a one-year, two-way deal with the
Calgary Flames. Gazdic was reassigned to the AHL with affiliate, the
Stockton Heat for the duration of the
2017–18 season. In 61 regular season games, he contributed with 1 goal and 2 points while posting 59 penalty minutes. As a free agent from the Flames, and with no NHL contract over the summer, Gazdic joined the San Diego Gulls training camp on a try-out and later made the AHL opening night roster for the
2018–19 season. He made 20 appearances with the Gulls posting 3 goals and 7 points. In the following off-season, Gazdic opted to continue his tenure with the Gulls agreeing to a one-year contract on August 14, 2019. In June 2021, Gazdic announced his retirement. ==Personal life==
