Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov agreed to a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday.
Fedotov, 27, was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
The 6-foot-8 netminder made his NHL debut on April 1, turning aside 19 of 21 shots in relief in a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. He posted a 0-1-1 record with a 4.95 goals-against average and .811 save percentage in three games (one start) this season.
Prior to joining Philadelphia, Fedotov spent this season with CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League. His stay there came despite the International Ice Hockey Federation ruling in favor of the NHL and Flyers last August that the goaltender’s contract would be tolled after he missed the 2022-23 season after being called into military service in Russia.
Fedotov was selected by the Flyers in the seventh round of the 2015 NHL Draft.
