Fedotov will serve as the starting goaltender for Wednesday's road game against Washington, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Fedotov will start between the pipes for the third time over the Flyers' first seven games of the season. The 27-year-old hasn't been particularly effective early in the year, posting a 0-2-0 record while allowing 10 goals on 55 shots (.818 save percentage) over his first two starts.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Struggles again Wednesday
Rotowire
Fedotov stopped 20 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals. The last two goals were empty-netters.
A comeback effort from the Flyers fell short, and it also made the game look closer than it was. Fedotov allowed three goals in less than five minutes in the second period, and that was ultimately too much to come back from. Through three starts this season, Fedotov is 0-3-0 with 14 goals allowed on 79 shots. He's doing nothing to challenge Samuel Ersson for the starting job, and Fedotov could be sent down to AHL Lehigh Valley if he can't turn things around.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Pulled after two periods
Rotowire
Fedotov allowed five goals on 24 shots over two periods of Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.
Fedotov got the hook after the Kraken ran away with the game by virtue of an eruption of goals late in the second period. The 27-year-old hasn't looked good in his two starts this season, giving up 10 goals on 55 shots. Samuel Ersson has at least kept the Flyers competitive, and he may soon run away with the No. 1 job in goal. Ersson played the third period Thursday and is slated to start Saturday's home opener versus the Canucks.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Lets in five goals in loss
Rotowire
Fedotov gave up five goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Fedotov put in a decent effort, but the Flyers seemed to fade as a team in the third period of the second half of a back-to-back. Still, the Flyers never led in the contest. Fedotov's first start didn't help his cause to push Samuel Ersson for playing time, though it's possible this goalie situation turns into a tandem approach. The Flyers have a couple of days off before returning to action Tuesday in Edmonton.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Starting in Calgary
Rotowire
Fedotov will guard the road goal Saturday against the Flames, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
Fedotov will make his season debut after Samuel Ersson played in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over Vancouver. The 27-year-old Fedotov is still looking for his first NHL victory after going 0-1-1 in three regular-season outings in 2023-24. Calgary is coming off a surprising 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks on Wednesday.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Steady in limited ice
Rotowire
Fedotov stopped seven of eight shots he faced Thursday in the first half of a 5-4 win over New Jersey.
The only puck that got past him was a wrist shot off the stick of Ryan Schmelzer at the mid-point of the first period. Fedotov is a lock as Samuel Ersson's backup this season, and he has the talent to deliver a strong stretch of starts when he gets hot.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Secures two-year extension
Rotowire
Fedotov agreed to terms on a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension with Philadelphia on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Fedotov played just three games for the Flyers this season after coming over from the KHL, going 0-1-1 with a 4.96 GAA and .811 save percentage. With an extension in hand, it seems Fedotov and Samuel Ersson will battle it out for the starting gig during training camp in the fall.
Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Struggles in relief appearance
Rotowire
Fedotov stopped nine of 13 shots in a relief appearance during Tuesday's 9-3 loss to Montreal.
Fedotov entered the contest midway through the second period after Samuel Ersson allowed five goals on 17 shots. Ersson is struggling mightily, posting a 5.37 GAA and a .787 save percentage across his past six outings. However, Fedotov hasn't shown himself to be a viable alternative -- the 27-year-old netminder is 0-1-1 with a 4.96 GAA and an .811 save percentage in three appearances this season. Philadelphia's recent goaltending struggles have caused the squad to slip out of a playoff spot, and it's not clear if either netminder will step up in time.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Can't halt Philly's losing streak
Rotowire
Fedotov made 15 saves in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Making his first start for the Flyers, the 27-year-old Russian got a rude welcome to the NHL -- Tage Thompson deked him out of his shorts to open the scoring, he was beaten high blocker side twice, and Fedotov was caught out of position on a rebound on the Sabres' final tally. Philadelphia has lost six straight games but is still clinging to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, topping a pack of five teams within four points of each other, which includes Buffalo. The Flyers could use a jolt of energy, but Fedotov's initial performances in the crease haven't suggested he'll be able to provide one.

Fedotov will patrol the visiting crease in Buffalo on Friday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Fedotov will make his first NHL start after giving up two goals on 21 shots in relief of Samuel Ersson on Monday against the Islanders.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Makes first NHL appearance
Rotowire
Fedotov entered Monday's game in the second period, stopping 19 of 21 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
The tallest goaltender in NHL history came into Monday's game in relief of Samuel Ersson, posting a .905 save percentage. While Fedotov is intriguing, the 27-year-old is untested in NHL action, and it's hard to know what to expect going forward. There is risk in rostering him, but he could get some looks with Ersson looking overworked late in the season.
