Soderblom allowed two goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Kings. The third goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom didn't play poorly, but the Kings' pair of goals in a span of 1:24 during the second period ended up being the difference. This outing dropped Soderblom to a 1-1-1 record with nine goals allowed on 80 shots through three appearances. With how well Spencer Knight has played early in 2025-26, it's unlikely Soderblom will see much more than a backup role most of the time. The Blackhawks have yet to play back-to-back days, but Soderblom is virtually guaranteed a start in each of those sets as well as picking up the occasional assignment to give Knight rest.

Soderblom is expected to guard the home goal against the Kings on Sunday, according to CHGO Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom hasn't played since Oct. 15, when he stopped 23 shots in an 8-3 win over St. Louis. He has a 1-0-1 record this season while stopping 52 of 59 shots. The Kings have posted 2.78 goals per game through nine outings this season.

Soderblom stopped 23 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks' scoring outburst gave Soderblom plenty of support even though he wasn't at his best. The 26-year-old is 1-0-1 to start the season, but he has allowed seven goals on 59 shots. Soderblom can be expected to continue handling the backup role, with Spencer Knight likely to get the nod for Friday's home game versus the Canucks.

Soderblom will guard the road goal versus the Blues on Wednesday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom will get his second start in the Blackhawks' first five games. He lost his season debut, allowing four goals on 33 shots in an overtime defeat at the hands of the Bruins. Soderblom will need to put together good performances when he starts, or Spencer Knight will end up with a hefty workload in 2025-26.

Soderblom stopped 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the nod for Chicago's second game of the new campaign, Soderblom gave up a goal in each period, getting beaten for the winner by Fraser Minten in the extra frame. The 26-year-old netminder is expected to back up Spencer Knight this season, but it's not yet clear how much of a workload that will entail. Soderblom set career bests with 10 wins, a 3.18 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 36 appearances in 2024-25.

Soderblom will protect the road goal Thursday versus the Bruins, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom will get his first start of the season in the Blackhawks' second game. The 26-year-old goalie is looking to build upon his 3.18 GAA and .898 save percentage, from 36 games last year, all of which were career-best marks. Soderblom will likely fill the backup role behind Spencer Knight, but it's possible this crease becomes a timeshare if neither goalie finds consistency.

Soderblom will protect the home goal in Saturday's preseason game versus the Blues, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Soderblom will make his second start of the preseason. He stopped 40 of 43 shots in his start versus the Red Wings on Sept. 23. Soderblom is projected to fill the backup role behind Spencer Knight for the Blackhawks in 2025-26.

Soderblom will get the start in preseason action against the Red Wings on Tuesday, and he's expected to play the entire game, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

EDGE Analysis

After signing a two-year, $5.5 million contract with Chicago in late July, Soderblom will start the season as the backup to Spencer Knight. The 26-year-old Soderblom registered a 10-18-7 record, .898 save percentage and 3.18 GAA over 36 appearances last season, but he shouldn't be in danger of losing playing time in 2025-26 so long as Laurent Brossoit (hip) remains on the shelf.

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.
