On July 3, 2016, Muzito Bagenda signalled the start of his North American professional career, in agreeing to a one-year AHL contract with the Rochester Americans, an affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres. [2]

After two seasons under contract with the Americans, Muzito Bagenda returned to Sweden as a free agent. He agreed to a try-out contract in joining AIK of the HockeyAllsvenskan on August 22, 2018. [3] He made an immediate impact with AIK and was soon signed to a contract for the 2018–19 season. In his first season in the Allsvenskan, Muzito Bagenda used his size and physicality to contribute with 13 goals and 27 points in 52 games.
