Fedotov will defend the home crease against the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Fedotov has been effective in recent outings, posting a 3-0-0 record, 2.22 GAA and .918 save percentage over his last three starts. The 27-year-old had been operating as the No. 2 netminder over the first month of the season but should see consistent playing time in the near future while Samuel Ersson (lower body) is on injured reserve.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Bounce-back run continues
Rotowire
Fedotov stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Fedotov gave up a power-play goal to Rasmus Dahlin and an even-strength tally to Ryan McLeod, both in the third period, but he was very good the rest of the way en route to his third straight win. The netminder owns a 2.22 GAA and a .918 save percentage amid his current winning streak, as he continues to turn his season around following a woeful start.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Fedotov will patrol the home crease versus Buffalo on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Fedotov has turned his season around in his last two starts, allowing five goals on 60 shots in wins over Tampa Bay and Ottawa. He started the season off slowly, losing all three starts while giving up 14 goals on 78 shots (.821 save percentage). The Sabres are averaging 3.41 goals per game.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Nabs second straight win
Rotowire
Fedotov made 33 saves in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Senators.
Two of Ottawa's goals came on power plays, and Fedotov didn't have much chance on the even-strength tallies, either. The 27-year-old still came up with enough stops to earn his second straight win after an 0-3-0 start to the season. With Samuel Ersson (lower body) banged up again, Fedotov could be in line for more work in the short term, but his 3.99 GAA and .862 save percentage through five appearances remain discouraging from a fantasy perspective.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: In goal Thursday
Rotowire
Fedotov will get the starting nod on the road against Ottawa on Thursday.
Fedotov has played just once in the Flyers' last nine games but impressed with a 22-save victory over the Lightning on Nov. 7. In his four appearances this year, the 27-year-old Finn is 1-3-0 with a 4.05 GAA and .851 save percentage. If he puts together another strong outing, Fedotov could be in the mix for a few more opportunities the rest of the way.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Gets first NHL win
Rotowire
Fedotov made 23 saves Thursday in a 2-1 shootout win over Tampa Bay.
It was Fedotov's first NHL win. He wasn't supposed to start the game, but Aleksei Kolosov suffered a lower-body injury at the morning skate. Philly in 2024-25 is a tough place to hone your craft -- Fedotov is 1-3-0 with a 4.05 GAA and .851 save percentage in four starts.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Draws start Wednesday
Rotowire
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: 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.

Rotowire
Fedotov will start Monday's road preseason contest versus the Islanders, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Fedotov will make his third appearance of the preseason -- the 27-year-old made 25 saves on 27 shots in Saturday's overtime win versus Boston. The Russian netminder will start before turning the net over to Aleksei Kolosov.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Tending twine Sunday
Rotowire
Fedotov will guard the road goal in Sunday's exhibition contest versus Washington, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Fedotov will play the first two periods, and Carson Bjarnason will enter the contest in the third frame. The 27-year-old Fedotov earned a record of 0-1-1 with a 4.95 GAA and an .811 save percentage in three regular-season outings with the Flyers in 2023-24. He will likely begin the 2024-25 campaign as Samuel Ersson's backup.

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.

Rotowire
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.
