Tonight, the Philadelphia Flyers are taking on the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo, New York. Per Jamey Baskow, Ivan Fedotov will make his 1st career start tonight.
The final push to the playoffs, Ivan Fedotov will make his first career NHL start tonight
The Flyers are currently in 3rd place in their division but are still barely hanging onto a playoff spot. The Islanders, Capitals and Red Wings are all within a point of the Flyers and if they are caught by all 3, they will miss the playoffs. Which is why they need Ivan Fedotov to step up tonight against the Sabres.
He played well in his NHL debut against the Islanders in which he entered the game in the 2nd period and he stopped 19 of 21 shots that he faced. The Flyers have games tonight and tomorrow so we should expect to see Sam Ersson back in net tomorrow night against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
