Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Ugly performance in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed six goals on 15 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
While the Canucks didn't generate many shots, they were able to capitalize on plenty of chances. Soderblom can hardly afford to have a bad outing -- Spencer Knight had started the previous two games and looks to be solidifying himself as the No. 1 netminder. Soderblom earned his ninth loss in 10 appearances (1-5-4), and he's down to 8-16-7 with a 3.14 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 32 appearances this season. The Blackhawks are back in action at home Tuesday versus the Kraken, and Soderblom may have to wait until next weekend's back-to-back to get in the crease again.

Rotowire
Soderblom is expected to guard the road goal against Vancouver on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Takes overtime loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 38 of 41 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
The game was closer than it should have been, thanks to an excellent game from Soderblom, as the Blackhawks were outshot 41-19. However, the 25-year-old netminder had no answer for Steven Stamkos, who scored three times on seven shots and could have had another goal had it not been played by a high stick. Soderblom has at least kept the Blackhawks competitive despite going 1-3-4 over his last eight outings. He's now at an 8-15-7 record for the season while managing a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 31 appearances. He's expected to share the goaltending duties with Spencer Knight the rest of the way, and so far, it's shaking out as a true goalie rotation. That would line up Knight for Monday's game in Colorado, while Soderblom gets a more favorable matchup Thursday in San Jose.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Starting in Nashville
Rotowire
Soderblom will defend the road net against the Predators on Saturday, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Soderblom will get the second half of Chicago's back-to-back after Spencer Knight played in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah. The 25-year-old Soderblom has posted a record of 8-15-6 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 30 appearances this season. Nashville sits 29th in the league with 2.63 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Falls to Sens in OT
Rotowire
Soderblom made 22 saves in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.
The game-winner came with some controversy, as Tim Stutzle crashed the net just 46 seconds into OT and wound up directing the puck past Soderblom with his skate, but it was ruled a good goal upon review. The 25-year-old netminder has appeared in five of Chicago's last six games, going 1-3-1 with a 3.28 GAA and .894 save percentage, but with Spencer Knight joining the team in the Seth Jones trade and likely to be handed the starting job at some point, Soderblom's workload should shrink down the stretch.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Defeats Ducks
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
The game was scoreless after one period, but Soderblom had a 3-2 lead to protect going into the third and received enough support to get the job done. He snapped his six-game losing streak, earning his first win since Jan. 28 versus the Lightning. Soderblom is up to 8-15-5 with a 3.02 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 29 appearances this season. He's made great strides behind a bad team this season, but the Blackhawks traded Seth Jones for Spencer Knight on Saturday. As a result, Soderblom's status with Chicago has taken a significant hit. It's unclear if the team considers the 25-year-old a trade chip leading into Friday's deadline. If the Blackhawks close out the campaign with Petr Mrazek, Soderblom and Knight on the NHL roster, it could hurt the fantasy value for all three goalies.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Strong showing in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 34 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Utah.
This was Soderblom's best game recently, but it wasn't enough to prevent his losing streak from reaching five games (0-3-2). The 25-year-old looked sharp but gave up goals to Clayton Keller and Lawson Crouse. Soderblom is now at 7-14-5 with a 3.02 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 27 appearances. Notably, this was his second start in a row. It's unclear if this is a signal of him pushing Petr Mrazek for the No. 1 job or just a one-off coaching decision by interim bench boss Anders Sorensen. The Blackhawks' road trip continues with a challenging visit to Vegas on Thursday.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Takes tough shootout loss
Rotowire
Soderblom turned aside 35 shots in regulation and overtime and eight of 10 shootout attempts in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Blues.
After a wild third period that saw five goals scored between the two teams, Soderblom kicked out five St. Louis shots in OT and was brilliant during the shootout before finally getting beaten by Radek Faksa for the winner in the 10th round. Soderblom has had some rotten luck, and some poor efforts from his defense, to begin 2025. The 25-year-old netminder is 2-3-4 since the beginning of January, facing at least 34 shots in eight of those outings while posting a 3.40 GAA despite a .906 save percentage.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: In goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Soderblom will get the starting nod at home versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom has just one victory in his last six appearances, going 1-3-2 with a 3.33 GAA over that stretch. Still, the 25-year-old netminder will be making his third appearance in the Blackhawks' last four outings, suggesting he will be given an extended look down the stretch ahead of Petr Mrazek. Still, Chicago heads into the international break with a back-to-back against the Predators and Blues on Friday and Saturday, respectively, so fantasy managers can expect the duo to split the workload.

Rotowire

Soderblom made 15 of his 34 saves in the third period to preserve the win. It was the Hawks' first road victory since Dec. 9 against the Rangers. Soderblom's overall record is mid, but his .910 save percentage is a strong metric, especially behind a porous team.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Lead slips away Saturday
Rotowire
Soderblom made 30 saves in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Chicago took a 3-1 lead midway through the second period, but Soderblom couldn't make it stick, with Zach Hyman banging home a rebound on the power play midway through the third to complete the comeback for Edmonton. Soderblom has only one win in his last six outings, going 1-4-0 with a 3.93 GAA and .886 save percentage, but with Petr Mrazek also struggling since his return from a groin strain, the duo will likely remain in a timeshare for now.
Soderblom will patrol the home crease versus Edmonton on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom surrendered six goals on 34 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Sunday. He has a 6-10-1 record with a 2.92 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. Edmonton sits eighth in the league with 3.29 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Blitzed on home ice Sunday
Rotowire
Soderblom surrendered six goals on 34 shots Sunday in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
Tyler Bertuzzi opened the scoring for Chicago on Sunday, but New York answered with five consecutive goals. Soderblom didn't stand much of a chance due to the Hawks being heavily outplayed in five-on-five play -- all six of New York's markers came at even strength. Soderblom has been inconsistent in 2024-25, but he could get a look as the No. 1 netminder if Petr Mrazek (.893 save percentage, 3.23 GAA) continues to struggle. Through 18 appearances this season, Soderblom has a 6-10-1 record, .905 save percentage and 2.92 GAA.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Bounces back Friday
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 38 of 40 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Soderblom snapped a two-game winless skid with an impressive display Friday, as the 38 saves tied a season-high mark for the 25-year-old. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis has hurt Soderblom's upside, but all things considered, he's been decent in recent weeks. Over his last 11 appearances, he's gone 5-5-0 with a 2.94 GAA and a .900 save percentage.

Dallas experimented with new lines Sunday, and Soderblom was unable to keep up. This was just the second time all season he's allowed more than three goals in a game -- he's generally been good while serving as the 1B option to Petr Mrazek in the Chicago crease. Soderblom is 5-9-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. The Blackhawks' next game is Tuesday's Winter Classic at Wrigley Field, which is expected to be a start for the veteran Mrazek.
