Blue Jackets' Ivan Fedotov: Shutout in AHL Cleveland debut
Rotowire
Fedotov posted a 21-save shutout in AHL Cleveland's 1-0 win over Utica on Friday.
Fedotov's first game for the Monsters was a massive success. The 28-year-old was acquired by the Blue Jackets from the Flyers in September, but he wasn't able to win an NHL job in training camp. If he can put together good performances with Cleveland, he could earn a call-up later in the year, especially if one of Elvis Merzlikins or Jet Greaves is unavailable.

Blue Jackets' Ivan Fedotov: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Fedotov was placed on waivers by the Blue Jackets on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Fedotov was dealt to the Blue Jackets before the start of training camp and was unable to unseat Jet Greaves or Elvis Merzlikins for a spot on the roster. Fedotov will likely be sent to AHL Cleveland should he pass through waivers and be the first call-up in goal in the event that Greaves or Merzlikins suffer an injury.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: No longer starting Thursday
Rotowire
Fedotov will not serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's road game against Buffalo.
The Flyers initially announced Fedotov as their starting netminder for Thursday's regular-season finale, but they issued a retraction, stating that Aleksei Kolosov will instead draw the start.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Starting season finale
Rotowire
Fedotov will patrol the visiting crease in Buffalo on Thursday.
Fedotov is 6-13-4 with a 3.15 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 26 outings this season. He was highly regarded after signing near the end of the 2023-24 campaign, but he has been mediocre at the NHL level, combining for an .874 save percentage over 29 career appearances. The Sabres are 10th in NHL scoring in 2024-25, generating 3.21 goals per game.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Struggles down the stretch
Rotowire
Fedotov saved 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa.
Fedotov posted a clean first 30 minutes in Sunday's contest before allowing three goals in the latter half of regulation. He then surrendered the OT winner to Tim Stutzle on a power play. Fedotov now has a 6-13-4 record with an .880 save percentage and a 3.15 GAA. The 28-year-old netminder has had a rough go of things since the beginning of March, with a 1-5-1 record over eight appearances. His struggles in net are only half the story, however, as the Flyers have struggled to defend nearly all season. Fedotov is signed with the Flyers through next season and will need to turn things around to gain relevance from a fantasy perspective.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Back at it Sunday
Rotowire
Fedotov will guard the road net Sunday in Chicago, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Fedotov started Saturday against Dallas, though he was replaced by Samuel Ersson after allowing two goals on three shots in the first period.

Fedotov has been charged with losses in his last three appearances, going 0-3-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .890 save percentage. He'll attempt to turn things around Monday but could have trouble doing so against Tampa Bay, as the Lightning rank second in the NHL with 3.53 goals per game.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Bad odor to game
Rotowire
Fedotov made 19 saves Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa.
Fedotov had been playing well lately, but Tuesday was a truly rough outing, and we don't know if he can regain his recent solid streak. Fedotov allowed four goals, and the third one had a horrible odor -- so much so that cameras caught coach John Tortorella rubbing his forehead in quiet frustration. Philly has a tough stretch of games coming up with Tampa Bay (twice), Carolina, Washington, Dallas and Toronto in its path over the next two weeks. You would be wise to make Fedotov and Samuel Ersson spectators over this span.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Fedotov will get the starting nod at home against the Senators on Tuesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.
Fedotov will make his fourth appearance in the Flyers' crease over the team's last six outings. In his prior three outings, the 28-year-old netminder is 1-2-0 despite a stellar 1.73 GAA and .938 save percentage. If he can get some offensive support, Fedotov's recent performances would have him set up well to secure his sixth win of the season.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Minimal offensive support in defeat
Rotowire
Fedotov stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey. The third marker was an empty-netter.
Fedotov conceded two goals at even strength in this contest. The Russian netminder has lost his last two starts, but he's allowed just two goals in each defeat. Fedotov has posted a strong .938 save percentage and a 1.73 GAA over three appearances in February and could challenge Samuel Ersson for more starts over the final stretch of the campaign. Across 20 appearances in 2024-25, Fedotov holds a 5-10-3 record, .886 save percentage and 3.02 GAA.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Still no wins since November
Rotowire
Fedotov made 14 saves in a 4-3 loss to the Capitals on Thursday.
Fedotov is now the 180th goalie that Alex Ovechkin has scored against. The superstar sniper scored his 879th NHL goal on a one-timer from the inside edge of the right face-off circle in the last minute of the first period. And the Caps were down 3-2 heading into the third, but Fedotov surrendered two goals, the lead and the win. He hasn't won since Nov. 29, and he's 0-4-2 in seven starts since then. You know the drill -- Fedotov should not be in your fantasy net.

Fedotov's last win came Nov 29 against the Rangers. Overall, he's 4-7-3 in 15 starts this season, and he sports a 3.21 GAA and .881 save percentage. We'd love to play Fedotov, but the situation in Philly isn't ideal for him right now. That may change in the future, but we can't recommend him right now.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Will start Thursday
Rotowire
Fedotov will protect the road goal versus the Islanders on Thursday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Fedotov was called on in relief Wednesday, making nine saves on 10 shots after Samuel Ersson was chased from the game. That won't change the Flyers' plans for the back-to-back. The Islanders have averaged 2.71 goals per game this season, tied for 26th in the league, so Fedotov may be a good streaming option for fantasy managers Thursday.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Falls to Jackets in shootout
Rotowire
Fedotov turned aside 26 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The 28-year-old goalie was able to shut down most of Columbus' skaters, but Zach Werenski found the back of the net in the first and third periods, and Fedotov then had little luck in the shootout. His last win came back on Nov. 29, but Fedotov has started three of the last six games for Philadelphia, going 0-1-2 with a 2.59 GAA and .886 save percentage. However, Samuel Ersson has been picking up steam again, so playing time for Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov could begin to dry up.
