However, he was again recalled to Calgary on February 16, replacing Leland Irving as the backup goaltender to Joey MacDonald.

He signed a contract to play with Färjestad BK in the SHL for the 2013–14 season[12] and helped the team reach the finals.

On April 27, 2018, Taylor returned to Russia and signed with HC Sibir Novosibirsk of the KHL for whom he played before coming to the NHL.

[17] On January 26, 2021, the Belarus Ice Hockey Federation announced that Taylor as well as fellow Dynamo Minsk players Shane Prince and Francis Paré had accepted an offer to play for the Belarus men's national ice hockey team.
