Professional
On May 24, 2011, the Los Angeles Kings signed Bérubé to a three-year, entry-level contract.[1] He played for the Kings' AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, as their starting goaltender.[2] On October 6, 2015 He was waived by the Kings due to Jhonas Enroth being chosen as Kings Back-up for the season

Bérubé opened the 2016–17 season with the Islanders, behind Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Greiss; the Islanders waived Halak in December 2016, making Berube the Islanders full-time backup.[4] Unable to impress in posting 3 wins in 14 games, Halak was later recalled.
As an impending group VI free agent after his two-year stint with the Islanders, Bérubé was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft on June 21, 2017. His selection was based upon a trade between the clubs' in which the Islanders sent a first-round pick in 2017, second-round pick in 2019, prospect Jake Bischoff and the contract of long term injured player, Mikhail Grabovski.[5]
On July 1 2017, Berube signed a two-year free agent contract with the Chicago Blackhawks, worth a total of $1.5 million.[6]
