After graduating from his four-year collegiate career with the University of Wisconsin, Klubertanz made his professional debut on a try-out contract with the Ducks AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates at the end of the 2007–08 season.

Without an opportunity given with the Canadiens on June 1, 2011, Klubertanz signed a two-year contract to return to Sweden with Djurgården. [2]

After a single season with KHL Medveščak Zagreb of the Kontinental Hockey League, Klubertanz opted to sign in Germany, in agreeing to two-year deal with the Nürnberg Ice Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) on July 2, 2014. [3] When his contract was up, he joined fellow DEL side Krefeld Pinguine, signing on July 1, 2016.
