He played his entire career, 13 seasons, with the top Soviet team CSKA Moskva. He represented the Soviet Union men's national ice hockey team in 195 games, scoring 79 goals.[1] He was awarded a place in the Russian and Soviet Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978.

In the 1976 Canada Cup, Zhluktov scored 5 goals and 4 assists in 5 games, tying him for both the most points (with Bobby Orr and Denis Potvin) and goals (with Milan Nový and Bobby Hull) in the tournament, despite playing two fewer games than the players he tied with.
