The Philadelphia Flyers went to the home of the NHL’s best team Saturday night, and left with two points and a shootout win against the Winnipeg Jets. Here are three thoughts (and a bonus) after the Flyers shootout win over the Jets.
The Philadelphia Flyers get back over .500 as they beat the NHL’s best team, the Winnipeg Jets, on their home ice Saturday night. Ivan Fedotov led the Flyers to the 2-1 shootout win, the first win for a Flyers’ backup goalie since Aleksei Kolosov’s win against the Red Wings on December 12th.
Maybe the third time is a charm. When the Philadelphia Flyers visit the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight, it’ll be the third meeting of the season for these two, and a chance for the Blue Jackets to grab their first win.
The Philadelphia Flyers currently already have two Russian-speaking goalies in Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov, but they could be soon joined by a third man – Yegor Zavragin.
After a devastating 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers are 8-10-2 with a minus-14 goal differential through the first quarter of the season.
Just a few weeks ago, Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ivan Fedotov seemed like a lost cause. Despite all the promise he carried from the KHL, Fedotov was 0-4-1 in his first six NHL games and had a 5.18 GAA and .817 save percentage.
The Philadelphia Flyers had no business defeating the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in overtime on Thursday night, but luck is sometimes part of the battle. Ivan Fedotov made a career-high 33 saves on 37 shots, standing on his head at times to keep the Flyers in the game and earn his second NHL win.
Starting Philadelphia Flyers goalie Sam Ersson suffered an undisclosed injury at practice on Wednesday; he left the ice unusually early on his own and was not available in the locker room afterwards.
When the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in a shootout on Thursday night, it was a big win for just about everybody on the team.
When Nikita Kucherov tucked in a full-speed wraparound in the final minute of Thursday night’s first period, it felt like the start of a spiral. Maybe continuation would be a better word given how tenuous the Flyers’ state was when they came into Amalie Arena.
After a 2-1 shootout win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Philadelphia Flyers are no longer the team occupying last place in the NHL, and they have Ivan Fedotov and Owen Tippett to thank for that.
The Philadelphia Flyers have officially recalled goaltender Alexei Kolosov from their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, as first reported by Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco.
In lieu of the struggles of Philadelphia Flyers backup goalie Ivan Fedotov, it is now a possibility that top goalie prospect Alexei Kolosov makes his official NHL debut for the Flyers on Sunday vs.
It took just five games into the NHL regular season for the Philadelphia Flyers’ goaltending to become a topic of discussion. Even for Philadelphia, which is notorious for having turbulent puck-stopping, this may be a new record.
In his two starts for the Philadelphia Flyers this season, backup goalie Ivan Fedotov has allowed 10 goals on just 55 shots against. After getting yanked in Thursday night’s 6-4 loss to the Seattle Kraken, Fedotov owns a career record of 0-3-1 and is not showing any signs of hope for the future just yet.
When the Philadelphia Flyers brought 6-foot-7 netminder Ivan Fedotov over from the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) in March 2024, there was excitement about what he’d bring.
The International Ice Hockey Federation has levied sanctions against the goaltender, KHL club CSKA Moskva and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation.
It is pretty rare for a player to make his season debut in the NHL with just a handful of games left to play. What’s even rarer is a player hitting the ice for the first time nearly a decade after being drafted.
It might not have ended the way the team wanted, but there was plenty of optimism coming out of the Philadelphia Flyers’ 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Monday night.
Ivan Fedotov made his NHL debut on Monday night, replacing Samuel Ersson in goal for the Philadelphia Flyers in the second period of their game against the New York Islanders.
Fedotov is an excellent prospect, and if he gets an opportunity, he could be a difference-maker for a surprising Flyers team that was supposed to be one of the worst in the NHL when the season began.
Ivan Fedotov is in Philadelphia to join the Flyers for the rest of the 2023-24 NHL season. The news comes a day after Fedotov’s previous club, CSKA Moscow in the KHL, ended his contract with a year left on it.
Fedotov’s situation is just the latest chapter in the strained relationship between the United States and Russia due to a volatile political climate after the latter declared war on the Ukraine last year.
Flyers goaltending prospect Ivan Fedotov has reportedly been sent to a remote base in Northern Russia after being picked up by Russian law enforcement for attempting to evade military service.
