Brylin made his NHL debut on February 17, 1995, and scored his first NHL goal on February 27. Brylin won three Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils in 1995, 2000 and 2003. He is one of five Devils who have played for all three of their championship teams, the only others being Martin Brodeur, Scott Niedermayer, Scott Stevens and Ken Daneyko.
On July 1, 2008, the Devils turned down the option to have Brylin return for another year. Ten days later, he signed with SKA Saint Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). After hopes of returning to the Devils for one more season faded, Brylin signed with Metallurg Novokuznetsk for the 2011–12 KHL season. In 2023, Brylin was inducted as the second member of the New Jersey Devils Ring of Honor.
