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

Soderblom is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
EDGE Analysis
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, on the depth chart. The Canucks have an 8-4-3 record and rank 16th offensively with 3.13 goals per game.

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

Soderblom will start Thursday's road game against the Stars, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Soderblom stopped 37 of 39 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

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

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

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

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