He began his career with his hometown team Kristall Saratov before moving to the Soviet Hockey League with HC Dynamo Moscow.

He then moved to North America in 1992 and played one game for the Winnipeg Jets, scoring two assists.

Though he’d already played one game in the NHL, he was ruled ineligible for the rest of the season due to only signing an AHL contract, and was made available for the 1993 draft.

After two seasons in Japan, Fedotov returned to Russia and split 2000-01 with Molot-Prikamie Perm and Vityaz Podolsk before retiring.
