In the same year he was selected in the NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the sixth round to 182 place, but not used until 2001 under contract.

He missed almost the entire 2001/02 season due to an eye injury he had sustained in an ECHL game for the Columbia Inferno. In the following season, he made his NHL debut for the Canucks, the majority of the season and also the subsequent season but he played again for the Manitoba Moose.

A short time later, on 14 October 2005, he made his debut for the Rangers in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks, but he denied again most games for the farm team of the Rangers.

Since Fyodorov did not want to play again in the North American minor leagues, he returned to Russia, where he signed a contract with Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk of the Kontinental Hockey League. After only one year, he joined, as did his brother Sergei, for Metallurg Magnitogorsk.
