While with the Thrashers, Vyshedkevich appeared in 30 NHL games across two seasons, scoring two goals and adding five assists. During the 2001–02 season, the Thrashers traded him to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim along with Scott Langkow in exchange for Ladislav Kohn. He finished the season with Anaheim's AHL affiliate, the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks. He returned to Russia to play for Dynamo Moscow of the Russian Super League the following season.
