He spent the rest of the season with Washington"s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hershey Bears, and ultimately returned to Hershey to start the 2006-2007 season.
He played a brief callup with the Capitals early into the 2006-2007 season, and was later recalled again in late January. Fehr recovered from a herniated disc injury and was called up to the Capitals on February 4, 2008.
On July 8, 2011, Fehr was traded to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick in 2012 and prospect Danick Paquette.
Fehr underwent surgery on his right shoulder in October 2011 and eventually missed the majority of the season due to recurring problems with the shoulder. Fehr was not given a qualifying offer by the Jets at the end of the 2011-2012 season, thereby making him an unrestricted free agent.

He then returned to the Capitals organization after signing a one-year, $600,000 contract on January 13, 2013.
