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.

Skinner stopped 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Skinner has won just one of his first five outings of the season, and he was just seven seconds away from forcing a shootout before Sebastian Aho's game-winning goal changed his plans. Skinner has posted a save percentage below the .910 mark and has allowed at least three goals in each of his five appearances this season, so he's certainly struggled mightily in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign.

Andersen stopped 33 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Andersen was beaten twice by Connor McDavid, once in the first period and once in the second during a power-play situation, but he was excellent the rest of the way. Andersen has been splitting the early-season starts with Pyotr Kochetkov, and while the platoon might continue in the coming weeks, there's no question Andersen needed a performance like Tuesday's to bolster his numbers. Through three appearances, the 35-year-old netminder has a 2-1-0 record with a 1.65 GAA and a .939 save percentage.

Grubauer allowed three goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.

Through four appearances, Grubauer has given up at least three goals on three occasions, and he's been on the hook for three losses. It wouldn't be surprising to see Joey Daccord take the No. 1 netminding role, at least in the short term -- he's won all three of his starts to open the 2024-25 campaign. Grubauer has a 1-3-0 record, .881 save percentage and 3.10 GAA.

Annunen turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Seattle.

Annunen has now won back-to-back starts, and he's likely earned himself a larger share of the netminding workload as a result of Alexandar Georgiev's early-season struggles. Annunen has posted a 2-1-0 record, .900 save percentage and 2.45 GAA across four appearances. The 24-year-old's next chance to extend his win streak to three will come in a road matchup with Utah on Thursday.

Swayman gave up three goals on 41 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 6:04 left in the third period.

Swayman has lost his last three starts, including one in overtime, and he's posted a 2.99 GAA with a .909 save percentage during the recent skid. Things won't get easier for Swayman and the Bruins, with an upcoming matchup against the Stars set for Thursday. It's unclear if he'll remain between the pipes or if he'll get some rest.

Saros stopped 33 shots in a 4-0 shutout win over the Bruins on Tuesday.

Saros delivered his best outing of the season Tuesday and lifted the Predators to their first win of the campaign. Despite starting the new season with four straight defeats, fantasy owners who drafted Saros shouldn't be concerned by his 1-4-0 record, as the skid was more a result of the Predators' poor overall play rather than Saros struggling between the pipes. Through five outings in 2024-25, Saros has a 2.89 GAA and a .903 save percentage.

Binnington turned aside 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Winnipeg.

The Jets dominated the second period, firing 14 shots at Binnington and beating him three times, and the Blues couldn't generate enough offense in the other two frames to make up for it. The 31-year-old netminder has a 1-3-0 record to begin the season with a 3.04 GAA and .891 save percentage, and Joel Hofer's hot start could lead to a timeshare in the St. Louis crease until Binnington steadies himself.

Hellebuyck made 27 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

St. Louis grabbed a 1-0 lead midway through the first period, but Hellebuyck locked things down in the second as Winnipeg surged into the lead. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner appears intent on a repeat, flying out to a 5-0-0 start to the current campaign with a 1.40 GAA and .948 save percentage.

Luukkonen stopped 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

The 25-year-old took a shutout into the third period, but Dallas made things interesting late in the frame before an Alex Tuch empty-netter put the game away. Luukkonen has won back-to-back starts, but through five outings he sports just a 2-2-1 record with a 3.01 GAA and .903 save percentage.
