Soderblom (upper body) did not play after taking a hit early in the third period of Saturday's Stadium Series game versus the Blue Jackets, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was no report on Soderblom's status after the contest. He ended with 10:12 of ice time. The Red Wings' next game is at home versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, so there should be an update on Soderblom's presence or absence at practice prior to that contest.

Soderblom notched an assist, seven hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom had been held off the scoresheet in three straight contests following a five-game point streak from Jan. 27 to Feb. 4. The 23-year-old has carved out a third-line role for the Red Wings, so while his offense may not be consistent, he should be able to stay in the lineup. He's at two goals, four helpers, 19 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-2 rating across 12 appearances this season.

Soderblom is on Detroit's roster, per the NHL media site Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom was sent down to AHL Grand Rapids right before the start of the 4 Nations Face-Off, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see him back on the NHL roster. Even with the promotion, the winger is far from a lock to suit up against Minnesota on Saturday and would need to edge out Tyler Motte or Jonatan Berggren for minutes.

Soderblom was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom is likely to be back with the big club in time for the Red Wings' Feb. 22 game against the Wild. In the meantime, his demotion saves Detroit cap space.

Soderblom scored a goal on four shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom has two goals and three assists during his five-game point streak. He is making a strong case to stay in the NHL even once the Red Wings' lineup is fully healthy. He's at five points, 12 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-1 rating through eight appearances since his Jan. 21 promotion from AHL Grand Rapids.

Soderblom logged an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom's point streak is up to four games (one goal, three assists). That's all of his offense through seven outings this season, and he's added eight shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating. Soderblom continues to fill a third-line role and stayed on the roster following Patrick Kane's activation from injured reserve -- J.T. Compher (upper body) going on IR was the corresponding move. It looks like Soderblom will be with the big club for the last two games before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he may have some appeal in deep fantasy formats since he's playing well.

Soderblom logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom has a goal and two assists over his last three outings, accounting for all of his offense through six games this season. The 23-year-old has received an opportunity to play regularly during Patrick Kane's (upper body) absence, but it's unclear if Soderblom will remain in the NHL when Kane is lifted from injured reserve. In addition to his decent scoring output, Soderblom has added eight shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-2 rating.

Soderblom scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
In his fourth game since his promotion from AHL Grand Rapids on Jan. 21, Soderblom picked up his first point, and it was a big one -- the 23-year-old banged home a rebound late in the second period to break open a 2-2 tie. Soderblom is filling a bottom-six role and doesn't have much of a pedigree as a sixth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, so even with players like Patrick Kane (upper body) currently on the shelf, he's unlikely to move into a more prominent role. However, he's been clutch during his brief time in the NHL and three of his six career goals over 25 NHL appearances have been game-winners.

Soderblom was called up from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom saw action in 21 outings for the Red Wings back in 2022-23, generating five goals and three assists, but he hasn't gotten above the AHL level since. With Tyler Motte (upper body) still on the shelf, the team could decide to deploy Soderblom in a bottom-six role, though he'd need to edge out Christian Fischer for a spot in the lineup.

Soderblom was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom garnered 29 points in 61 regular-season outings with AHL Grand Rapids in 2023-24. The 23-year-old's last appearance in the NHL came with Detroit during the 2022-23 campaign. The Swedish forward showed a sliver of promise in his lone season with the Red Wings -- he logged five goals and three assists in 21 regular-season appearances.
