Soderblom (undisclosed) remains day-to-day ahead of Saturday night's contest against the Kings, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear what is going on with Soderblom, who missed his first career NHL contest Thursday, when the Rangers crushed the Red Wings, 8-2. If Soderblom ends up missing more time, the injury-depleted Wings will presumably go back to well in utilizing his fellow countryman, Jonatan Berggren, to shore up the depth on the fourth line.

Soderblom scored a goal on two shots and added two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom tallied the Red Wings' last goal in the big win. The 21-year-old has two goals through five games in his first NHL season. He's added 11 shots on net, a minus-1 rating, four PIM and four blocked shots while playing in a third-line role and adding some time on the second power-play unit. A sixth-round pick from 2019, Soderblom has enjoyed a fast ascent to the NHL, but he still needs to show a bit more offense before being an option in fantasy.

Soderblom scored the game-winning goal during his NHL debut Friday, leading the Red Wings to a 3-0 victory over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom, a 6-foot-6 rookie forward, could be a sleeper for fantasy managers this season. Positioned in front of the net, the 2019 sixth-round draft pick scored his first NHL goal off a rebound at 2:33 of the third period. The eventual game-winning tally came on the Red Wings' 37th shot against Canadiens goalie Jake Allen. Soderblom, who played a strong all-around game Friday, finished with a team-high five shots on goal and earned a plus-2 rating.

While Soderblom has made the Opening Night roster, Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said the young forward will need to maintain a role on the power play in order to stick in the NHL, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings took Soderblom in the sixth round (No. 159) of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. He's evidently matured quite a bit since then, and the Swede turned in a strong preseason accentuated by a highlight-worthy goal in Friday's preseason win over the Maple Leafs. Soderblom is projected for a fourth-line role, but it sounds like he'll be given an early opportunity on the man advantage. The Swede will be a tough cover for defenders since he's 6-foot-8 and 220 pounds with slick hands for a big skater.

Soderblom found twine in Friday's 4-2 preseason win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
This was the second preseason goal for Soderblom, whom the Red Wings picked up in the sixth round (No. 159 overall) of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. According to Ansar Khan of MLive.com, the 21-year-old power forward is likely to require additional seasoning with AHL Grand Rapids, though he's looked good in training camp and the preseason.

Soderblom (upper body) will be in the lineup for Wednesday night's preseason game versus Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom will return to action after missing Monday's exhibition game against Pittsburgh due to upper-body soreness. Look for the 2019 sixth-round pick to be assigned to AHL Grand Rapids prior to Opening Night.

Soderblom experienced upper-body soreness that prohibited him from suiting up for Monday's exhibition game against the Penguins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This doesn't seem like a concerning issue, and it especially won't affect fantasy managers since the Swede is off the radar as a 21-year-old on an entry-level contract. Soderblom, who was Detroit's sixth-round (No. 159 overall) draft pick, is likely to be ticketed for AHL Grand Rapids to start the new season.
