Report: Blue Jackets To Acquire Flyers Goalie Ivan Fedotov

The move reflects Philadelphia reacting to his underwhelming NHL debut.

Overview

  • Elliotte Friedman reports Columbus is acquiring Ivan Fedotov from Philadelphia, with no return or official team confirmation yet.
  • Fedotov posted a .880 save percentage, 3.15 goals-against average and a 6-13-4 record in 26 appearances last season, with MoneyPuck tracking his expected GAA at 2.58.
  • He signed a two-year extension with the Flyers carrying a $3.25 million cap hit after arriving in North America in April 2024.
  • The 28-year-old previously starred in the KHL and navigated a years-long saga that included Russian military service and IIHF sanctions over conflicting contracts.
  • The reported exit shifts a Flyers plan that had envisioned a tandem with Samuel Ersson, while Columbus had been seeking help in goal.
