ARVID SODERBLOM NEWS

Loses lead in third period Soderblom stopped 21 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact The Blackhawks took a 2-1 lead early in the second period, but Soderblom allowed goals to Alex Killorn and Leo Carlsson in the third. This was just the second time in six outings Soderblom has allowed more than two goals, but he has a 1-4-1 record to show for it. He's also maintained a 2.36 GAA and a .926 save percentage, but he'll need help from the team in front of him to collect wins. Petr Mrazek (personal) is away from the Blackhawks, and if he's not back in time for Thursday's game versus the Panthers, Soderblom would likely draw that extremely challenging start.

Facing Ducks Soderblom will protect the home net versus Anaheim on Tuesday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Impact Soderblom made 38 saves in a 4-2 win over the Ducks on Nov. 3. He has a 1-3-1 record with a 2.22 GAA and a .934 save percentage across five appearances this season. Anaheim is coming off a 4-2 victory over Dallas on Monday and ranks 27th in the league with 2.53 goals per game in 2024-25. Drew Commesso will be the backup goalie because Petr Mrazek (personal) is away from the team.

Keeps it close in loss Soderblom stopped 29 of 31 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact The final score looks bad, but Soderblom kept the Blackhawks in it as long as he was on the ice. Despite a strong effort, he dropped to 1-3-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .934 save percentage through five outings this season. Laurent Brossoit's recovery from knee surgery has taken much longer than anticipated and is not near a conclusion, but the Blackhawks haven't needed to rush him back thanks to Soderblom's strong play in the backup role. The team returns home to face the Ducks on Tuesday, though it'll likely be Petr Mrazek between the pipes for that contest.

Set to start Saturday Soderblom is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Soderblom has a 1-2-1 record, 2.27 GAA and .933 save percentage in four appearances this season. While those are great numbers, he remains firmly behind Petr Mrazek, who has logged 13 outings in 2024-25, in the depth charts. The Canucks have an 8-4-3 record and rank 16th offensively with 3.13 goals per game.

Strong effort in loss Soderblom allowed two goals on 39 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Blackhawks didn't play all that well, but Soderblom did his best to keep things competitive. While he's won just one of his four starts so far, the 25-year-old netminder has allowed a total of nine goals on 135 shots, good for a .933 save percentage. He looks much more prepared for the NHL in 2024-25 than he did in either of the previous two seasons, and that's good news with Laurent Brossoit (knee) not yet close to a return. Soderblom remains in the backup role, and it'll likely be Petr Mrazek who gets the nod versus the Wild on Sunday, though Soderblom's strong play could earn him more looks in the near future.

Set to patrol road crease Soderblom will start Thursday's road game against the Stars, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports.

Impact Soderblom will make just his fourth start of the season in the second half of a back-to-back set. The 25-year-old has had mixed results early in the year, posting a 1-1-1 record, 2.35 GAA and .927 save percentage over his three appearances.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first win of season Soderblom stopped 37 of 39 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Soderblom turned in his first win of the season, though he had to fend off the Ducks' late push to do it. The 25-year-old has looked decent in limited action in 2024-25, allowing seven goals on 95 shots over three appearances. He's posted a 1-1-1 record and continues to play as backup to Petr Mrazek as the Blackhawks wait for Laurent Brossoit (knee) to be ready. Soderblom may get another start soon with a back-to-back up next on the schedule -- the Blackhawks host the Red Wings on Wednesday before visiting the Stars on Thursday.

Tending twine Sunday Soderblom will protect the road goal versus the Ducks on Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Soderblom will start in the second half of a back-to-back after Petr Mrazek gets the nod Saturday against the Kings. Soderblom is 0-1-1 with five goals allowed on 56 shots over his first two appearances of the season. He recently missed two games due to an illness before backing up Mrazek in the Blackhawks' visits to Colorado and San Jose.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins team Monday Soderblom rejoined the Blackhawks on Monday after recovering from an illness, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Soderblom will return to his role as the backup to Petr Mrazek. As a result of Soderblom moving past his illness, fellow netminder Drew Commesso was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Monday. Soderblom is 0-1-1 with a .911 save percentage and a 2.52 GAA through two appearances.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Soderblom (illness) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's road matchup against Dallas, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Soderblom will miss his second straight game. He has posted a record of 0-1-1 this season, stopping 51 of 56 shots. Petr Mrazek will start again versus the Stars after dropping a 3-2 decision to Nashville on Friday. Drew Commesso will be the backup netminder.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Soderblom is battling an illness and won't suit up Friday versus the Predators, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Impact The news of Soderblom's illness explains why the Blackhawks called up prospect goalie Drew Commesso prior to Friday's game. It's unclear if Soderblom will be healthy enough to start Saturday in Dallas -- if not, Commesso may get the second half of a back-to-back after Petr Mrazek starts Friday.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up three goals Saturday Soderblom gave up three goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Soderblom gave up a pair of goals in the first period, and John-Jason Peterka netted the game-winner at 18:37 of the second period. The 25-year-old Soderblom has given up five goals on 56 shots over his two appearances this year, but he has gone 0-1-1 so far. Petr Mrazek has done alright in the No. 1 role, so Soderblom likely won't be asked to play more than once a week, and he could be off the NHL roster altogether once Laurent Brossoit (knee) is ready to play.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding crease Saturday Soderblom will patrol the home crease Saturday against Buffalo, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN.

Impact During his season debut, Soderblom stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss to Winnipeg on Oct. 11. Buffalo has accumulated 17 goals in six games en route to a 1-4-1 record this season.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Performs admirably in loss Soderblom allowed two goals on 35 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to Winnipeg.

Impact Soderblom drew the start Friday as Chicago was on the front end of a back-to-back, and he may have earned himself more playing time going forward. Laurent Brossoit is expected to form a tandem in net with Petr Mrazek when the former returns from injury, but Soderblom could force Chicago to keep three goaltenders on the roster if he continues to perform at a high level. On the other hand, Soderblom will head to AHL Rockford if Chicago opts to keep two netminders on the roster when Laurent Brossoit is healthy.

Draws start Friday Soderblom will start Friday's road game against Winnipeg, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Impact Petr Mrazek started the Blackhawks' Opening Night matchup against Utah on Tuesday, but Soderblom will draw his first start of the regular season in the first half of a back-to-back Friday. Soderblom made 32 regular-season appearances for Chicago last year and posted a 5-22-2 record, 3.92 GAA and .879 save percentage.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Wins preseason finale Soderblom allowed two goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 6-2 preseason win over the Blues in Milwaukee.

Impact Soderblom's performance was strong, but it's important to note the Blues dressed a mostly AHL-level roster. With four goals allowed on 59 shots over two preseason starts, Soderblom should at least have some confidence entering 2024-25. He'll likely begin the season in the NHL while Laurent Brossoit (knee) finishes up his recovery, and that could lead to Soderblom making a start next week since the Blackhawks have a back-to-back in Winnipeg and Edmonton for their second and third games of the year.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Saturday Soderblom is set to guard the home goal in Saturday's preseason game against St. Louis, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Although Chicago is technically the home team, the exhibition contest is taking place in Milwaukee. Soderblom had a 5-22-2 record, 3.92 GAA and .879 save percentage across 32 games with Chicago in 2023-24. Petr Mrazek will enter the 2024-25 campaign as the Blackhawks' starting goaltender while Soderblom is set to be the understudy.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Slated starter Friday Soderblom is expected to guard the road goal against Detroit in Friday's preseason game, per Greg Boysen of CHGO Sports.

Impact Soderblom posted a 5-22-2 record, 3.92 GAA and .879 save percentage in 32 contests with Chicago in 2023-24. He's projected to enter the campaign as the Blackhawks' No. 2 netminder behind Petr Mrazek.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Takes overtime loss in finale Soderblom allowed five goals on 35 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact The Blackhawks made an improbable third-period rally for a 4-3 lead, but Soderblom couldn't make it stick. He then gave up a goal to Adrian Kempe six seconds into overtime. Soderblom ends 2023-24 with a 5-22-2 record, a 3.92 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 32 outings. The Blackhawks will need to make significant improvements to the roster for Soderblom to be viable in most fantasy formats in 2024-25.

APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Soderblom is expected to start on the road against LA on Thursday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Soderblom has a 5-22-1 record, 3.88 GAA and .880 save percentage in 31 appearances this season. He faced LA on March 15 and allowed four goals on 14 shots in just 14:19 of ice time en route to a 5-0 loss, so this is an opportunity for him to get some revenge. The Kings rank 18th offensively with 3.07 goals per contest this campaign.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Blitzed by Nashville in latest loss Soderblom turned away 35 of 40 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

Impact Soderblom was let down by Chicago's failure to kill off any penalties, resulting in three power-play goals from the visitors. The team also had no answer for Nashville's top offensive weapon, Filip Forsberg, who notched his 10th career NHL hat trick. Serving as the No. 2 option in goal behind Petr Mrazek, Soderblom has made 31 appearances this campaign, albeit with an uninspiring 5-22-1 record and ratios that simply don't help fantasy managers; the Swede has a 3.88 GAA and .880 save percentage.
