At the conclusion of his contract with the Red Wings, having played exclusively with AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, Terry left the club as a free agent. With the 2020–21 North American season delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and approaching his 12th professional season, Terry opted to sign his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year contract for the remainder of the season with Russian outfit Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) on December 8, 2020. Terry made 19 regular season appearances with Torpedo, registering 8 goals and 8 assists for 16 points.
