Soderblom has signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract with the Blackhawks, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom will be back with the Blackhawks on a new, two-year agreement following a season in which he held a 10-18-7 record, 3.18 GAA and an .898 save percentage. The 25-year-old has yet to play more than 40 games in a season during his young career, and the presence of Spencer Knight as Chicago's probable starting netminder means that Soderblom will be the backup and likely won't reach 40 games again this season.

Soderblom stopped 18 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old netminder reached 10 wins for the first time in his career with the performance. Assuming he doesn't see action in Chicago's regular-season finale Tuesday in Ottawa, Soderblom wraps up his campaign with a 3.18 GAA, .898 save percentage and 10-18-7 record over 36 outings. A restricted free agent in the offseason, it's not clear if he'll factor into Chicago's 2025-26 plans with the team having Spencer Knight and Laurent Brossoit (knee) set to make a combined $7.8 million.

Soderblom is expected to defend the road net against Montreal on Monday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom is coming off a 31-save performance in Thursday's 5-2 win over Boston, and he stopped 38 shots in a 4-2 victory over Montreal on Jan. 3. He has a 9-18-7 record with a 3.19 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 35 appearances this season. Montreal sits 17th in the league with 2.95 goals per game in 2024-25.

Soderblom made 31 saves in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Four third-period goals by Chicago gave Soderblom more than enough offensive support to secure his first win since March 1. The 25-year-old netminder had also given up three goals or more in all six of his March outings, stumbling to a 4.13 GAA and .852 save percentage on the month. While Spencer Knight has seen the bulk of the work since being acquired from Florida, Soderblom will likely get one more turn in the crease this season -- Chicago wraps up its schedule with back-to-back road games Monday and Tuesday in Montreal and Ottawa, respectively.

Soderblom will defend the visiting crease in Boston on Thursday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom is 0-3-2 in his last five appearances, allowing 22 goals on 138 shots (.841 save percentage). He will face the Bruins, who are generating 2.68 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks 28th in the league.

Soderblom stopped 26 of 31 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom started after not playing in the Blackhawks' last three games, but the struggles continue for the 25-year-old. This was his fifth straight loss, and he's given up four or more goals four times over that stretch. During that five-game stretch, Soderblom has gone 0-3-2 with a 4.36 GAA and an .841 save percentage.

Soderblom will protect the home net against Utah on Sunday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom has allowed 17 goals on 107 shots during his four-game losing skid (0-2-2). He has posted a record of 8-17-7 with a 3.17 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 33 appearances this season. Utah ranks 24th in the league with 2.78 goals per game in 2024-25.

Soderblom turned aside 21 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old netminder kept the Blues off the board for the first half of the game, but once Robert Thomas got a puck past him with just under five minutes left in the second period, things unraveled quickly for Chicago. Soderblom hasn't won a game since March 1, going 0-2-2 over his last four starts with an .841 save percentage.

Soderblom will tend the twine on the road against the Blues on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom has played in just one of the Hawks' last five outings, a disappointing appearance in which he gave up six goals on 15 shots (.600 save percentage). Additionally, the 25-year-old netminder has managed just one victory in his last 10 contests, going 1-5-4 with a 3.72 GAA. Given Soderblom's struggles, Spencer Knight should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward, including the second game of this back-to-back versus the Flyers at home Sunday.

Soderblom allowed six goals on 15 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

While the Canucks didn't have much of an offense, 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. This was Soderblom's 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, but it's possible Soderblom will have to wait until next weekend's back-to-back to get in the crease again.
