Soderblom allowed two goals on 35 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
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 moving forward. Laurent Brossoit (knee) 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 could head to AHL Rockford if Chicago opts to keep two netminders on the roster when Brossoit is healthy.

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

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

Soderblom is set to guard the home goal in Saturday's preseason game against St. Louis, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
EDGE Analysis
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 will be the understudy due to the absence of Laurent Brossoit (knee).

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

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

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

Soderblom turned away 35 of 40 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Soderblom will face the Predators at home Friday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom looked solid in relief of Petr Mrazek on Wednesday, stopping 21 of 23 shots in nearly a full night of work. Soderblom has just one win in his last five outings, posting an unsightly .885 save percentage during that span. On the year, he owns a brutal 5-21-1 record with a 3.84 GAA.
