Fedotov gave up two goals on seven shots before being replaced by Aleksei Kolosov to begin the second period in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Panthers.
Head coach John Tortorella's decision to give Fedotov a quick hook gave the Flyers a temporary jolt, and they rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the second period, but Kolosov couldn't hold the lead in the third. Samuel Ersson (lower body) resumed practicing this week, and he figures to immediately reclaim the No. 1 job in the Philadelphia crease as soon as he's ready to come off IR -- something that could happen as soon as Saturday in Boston. Through 10 appearances this season, Fedotov has gone 4-4-1 with a 3.48 GAA and .877 save percentage.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Facing Panthers
Rotowire
Fedotov will patrol the home crease versus Florida on Thursday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Fedotov was stellar in his last start Friday, allowing only one goal on 23 shots in a 3-1 victory over the slumping Rangers. Fedotov is 4-4-1 with a 3.39 GAA and an .881 save percentage, but those numbers are skewed after a bad start to the season. He is 4-1-1 in his last six starts with a 2.57 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Panthers are averaging 3.65 goals per game.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Earns win Friday
Rotowire
Fedotov saved 22 of 23 shots in a 3-1 win over the Rangers on Friday.
Fedotov bounced back after allowing eight goals on 67 shots (.881 save percentage) over his previous two starts. The Flyers scored twice in the opening 4:24 of the first period, giving Fedotov some breathing room early. He was beaten by Vincent Trocheck midway through the second frame, which made it a one-goal game, but Fedotov didn't let anything else past him. He improved to 4-4-1 through nine appearances in 2024-25. After getting the nod Friday, Fedotov will probably hand the goaltending duties over to Aleksei Kolosov for Saturday's tilt in St. Louis.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Between pipes Friday
Rotowire
Fedotov will defend the home crease versus the Rangers on Friday.
Fedotov is 3-4-1 with a 3.69 GAA and an .874 save percentage as he has struggled his last two starts after winning three in a row. Fedotov has given up eight goals on 67 shots in a loss to Carolina and a shootout defeat at the hands of the Golden Knights. The Rangers are in the midst of a four-game losing streak and are averaging 3.33 goals per game.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Felled by Knights in shootout
Rotowire
Fedotov stopped 26 of 30 shots in regulation and overtime and one of two shootout attempts in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Golden Knights.
The Flyers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but Fedotov couldn't make it stick, although he had little chance on any of the pucks that got past him. Samuel Ersson (lower body) has begun practicing and could be close to getting back in the crease, and Fedotov hasn't done much to stake a claim to a bigger role. Over four starts since Ersson was injured, Fedotov has posted a 3.37 GAA and an .891 save percentage.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Tending twine Monday
Rotowire
Fedotov will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Monday, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
Despite a 33-save effort, Fedotov's three-game winning streak ended Wednesday in a 4-1 loss to Carolina. He has a 3-4-0 record with a 3.69 GAA and an .875 save percentage through seven appearances this season. Vegas sits fourth in the league with 3.86 goals per game in 2024-25.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Tough night against Canes
Rotowire
Fedotov made 33 saves in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Fedotov kept things close until the third period, when Carolina struck three times in the first seven minutes to blow the game open. The 27-year-old rookie has started three of the last four games since Samuel Ersson (lower body) has been unavailable, going 2-1-0 with a 3.26 GAA and .899 save percentage, and Fedotov has done enough to retain the No. 1 spot on the depth chart until Ersson returns.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Tending twine Wednesday
Rotowire
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: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Fedotov will start Thursday on the road versus the Lightning.
The start was originally supposed to go to Aleksei Kolosov, but he was injured in the morning skate Thursday. Fedotov will instead draw in for his first game action since Oct. 23, when he allowed four goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Capitals. The 27-year-old will have an emergency backup (Kyle Konin), so Fedotov will likely play the full game regardless of his performance.

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: 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: Starting against Seattle
Rotowire
Fedotov will guard the road crease against Seattle on Thursday.
Fedotov drew a start against Calgary on Saturday and allowed five goals on 31 shots in the road loss. He'll have a chance to bounce back against the Kraken on Thursday as he continues to alternate starts with Samuel Ersson early in the season.

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.
