Chartier was drafted by San Jose Sharks in the fifth round, 149th overall, of the 2014 NHL entry draft.[13] On December 31, 2014, Chartier was signed by the San Jose Sharks to a three-year entry-level contract.[14] He joined San Jose's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, San Jose Barracuda for the 2016 Calder Cup playoffs. He made his professional debut with the team during the playoffs, going scoreless in the one game.[2][15] He was assigned the Barracuda for the 2016–17 season and recorded 17 goals and 35 points in 67 games.[2][16] The Barracuda qualified for the 2017 Calder Cup playoffs and in the first round series against the Stockton Heat, Chartier suffered a concussion that kept him out of the lineup into the 2017–18 season.[17][18] In seven playoff games, he tallied six points (all assists).[2] He suffered another concussion on May 17, 2017 that prevented him from participating the 2017 Sharks training camp. He returned in November 2017 and suffered another head injury that kept him out until February 2018.[19] He spent the entire 2017–18 season with the Barracuda, recording seven goals and 21 points in 26 games.[2] The Barracuda qualified for the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs and he made three appearances, scoring two goals and three points.[2] He made the Sharks out of camp during the 2018–19 season, making his NHL debut on October 8, 2018 versus the New York Islanders.[13] He scored his first NHL goal on October 28, 2018 versus John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks.[20] He played in 13 games before being sent to the Barracuda.

Chartier as a free agent from the Sharks sat out the entirety of the 2019–20 season, due to lingering post-concussion symptoms.[22] On October 14, 2020, Chartier returned to the professional circuit by signing to a one-year AHL contract with Toronto Marlies.[23] In the pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season, Chartier made 28 appearances with the Marlies and finished with 2 goals and 8 points.[2]

Approaching the 2021–22 season, Chartier attended Belleville Senators' training camp and made the opening night roster on a professional try-out basis.[24] In elevating his play, Chartier solidified his role within Belleville and after posting 10 goals and 23 points through 30 games was belatedly signed to a AHL contract on March 15, 2022.[25] After a successful debut season with Belleville, Chartier would continue with the club after signing a one-year, two-way contract with their NHL affiliate, Ottawa Senators for the 2022–23 season, on July 15, 2022.[26] On December 12, 2022, Chartier was recalled by Ottawa.[27] He played his first game for Ottawa that day in a 3–0 win over the Anaheim Ducks.[28] In his sixth game with Ottawa, he suffered an injury.[29] He was placed on injured reserve on December 27, 2022[30] and was only activated on January 23, 2023 and immediately assigned to Belleville.[31]

On July 1, 2023, Chartier re-signed with Ottawa on a one-year two-way contract.[32] Chartier scored his first goal for Ottawa against Dustin Wolf on November 14 in a 4–1 win over the Calgary Flames.[33] Chartier suffered an upper body injury on December 15 in a game versus Dallas Stars.[34] He was placed on injured reserve on the following day.[35] Chartier returned from injury on January 13 and played that night against the San Jose Sharks.[36] On January 30, Chartier was placed on waivers and after going unclaimed, was assigned to Belleville on January 31.[37] Chartier was recalled on March 5 to replace Zack MacEwen.[38] Chartier was sent to and recalled from Belleville in a paper transaction at the trade deadline on March 9 that allowed him to play in the AHL playoffs.[39] In mid-March he suffered another upper body injury that kept him out until April 4, when he was assigned to Belleville.[40]

On July 18, 2024, having left the Senators organization after three seasons, Chartier signed as a free agent with Chinese-based club, Kunlun Red Star of the Kontinental Hockey League, on an initial one-year contract.[41] After recording 17 points in 37 games for Kunlun, Chartier was traded on December 26 to HC CSKA Moscow for cash.[42] He made 19 appearances for CSKA Moscow, scoring one goal.
