With their newest and freshest goalie in the rotation, they hope they can get the help to defeat the Buffalo Sabres tonight.

Fedotov started 44 games in the KHL for CSKA Moscow and finished his season there, with a 2.37 GAA, a .914 save percentage, and a 21-22-1 record.
In the KHL playoffs, he played 5 games, posting an even better 2.57 GAA, a .916 save percentage, and 1 shutout, with a 1-4-0 record.
As of writing this right now, the Flyers and Sabres are tied 0-0 in the 1st period with 17:10 left.
