Ivan Fedotov - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Struggles in relief appearance Fedotov stopped nine of 13 shots in a relief appearance during Tuesday's 9-3 loss to Montreal.

Impact 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.

Can't halt Philly's losing streak Fedotov made 15 saves in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact 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 that includes Buffalo. The team could use a jolt of energy, but Fedotov's initial performances in the crease haven't suggested he'll be able to provide one.

Makes first NHL appearance Fedotov entered Monday's game in the second period, stopping 19 of 21 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Impact 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.

Officially joins team Fedotov made the move to Philadelphia on Friday after his contract with CSKA Moscow was terminated.

Impact Fedotov's journey to the NHL has been a complicated one, as it included mandatory military service and a suspension from the IIHF for violating the teams of his NHL contract. Still, the 27-year-old netminder has been much coveted by the team after it drafted him in the seventh round of the NHL Draft. While Samuel Ersson figures to continue seeing the majority of the starts for the Flyers down the stretch, Fedotov should get some opportunities as well.

IIHF rules in favor of the Flyers, saying Russian goalie Ivan Fedotov has a valid NHL contract

The International Ice Hockey Federation has ruled in favor of the Philadelphia Flyers by agreeing that Russian goaltender Ivan Fedotov had a valid NHL contract for the upcoming sea...

Receives suspension from IIHF The IIHF has determined that Fedotov was in breach of contract rules when he signed with CSKA Moscow of the KHL in July because he had a valid deal with Philadelphia.

Impact The IIHF has handed Fedotov a four-month suspension from playing in national or international games. Additionally, CSKA Moscow was given a one-year ban on international transfers. Fedotov was unable to come to North America after signing an entry-level deal with the Flyers last summer because he had to complete required military service in Russia. Philadelphia wanted the contract he signed with the team tolled because the 26-year-old netminder had to take the year off from hockey. It appears as though Fedotov is still slated to play in the KHL for the 2023-24 campaign.
