Soderblom turned aside 21 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to St. Louis.
The 25-year-old netminder kept the Blues off the board for the first half of the game, but once Robert Thomas got a puck past him with just under five minutes left in the second period, things unraveled quickly for Chicago. Soderblom hasn't won a game since March 1, going 0-2-2 over his last four starts with an .841 save percentage.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Guarding cage versus Blues
Rotowire
Soderblom will tend the twine on the road against the Blues on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom has played in just one of the Hawks' last five outings, a disappointing appearance in which he gave up six goals on 15 shots (.600 save percentage). Additionally, the 25-year-old netminder has managed just one victory in his last 10 contests, going 1-5-4 with a 3.72 GAA. Given Soderblom's struggles, Spencer Knight should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward, including the second game of this back-to-back versus the Flyers at home Sunday.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Ugly performance in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed six goals on 15 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
While the Canucks didn't generate many shots, they were able to capitalize on plenty of chances. Soderblom can hardly afford to have a bad outing -- Spencer Knight had started the previous two games and looks to be solidifying himself as the No. 1 netminder. Soderblom earned his ninth loss in 10 appearances (1-5-4), and he's down to 8-16-7 with a 3.14 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 32 appearances this season. The Blackhawks are back in action at home Tuesday versus the Kraken, and Soderblom may have to wait until next weekend's back-to-back to get in the crease again.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Set to face Vancouver
Rotowire
Soderblom is expected to guard the road goal against Vancouver on Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Soderblom will try to rebound after dropping his past two games (0-0-2) while allowing seven goals on 67 shots (.896 save percentage). He's 8-15-7 with a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 31 appearances in 2024-25. Vancouver is tied for 26th in goals per game with 2.71.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Takes overtime loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 38 of 41 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
The game was closer than it should have been, thanks to an excellent game from Soderblom, as the Blackhawks were outshot 41-19. However, the 25-year-old netminder had no answer for Steven Stamkos, who scored three times on seven shots and could have had another goal had it not been played by a high stick. Soderblom has at least kept the Blackhawks competitive despite going 1-3-4 over his last eight outings. He's now at an 8-15-7 record for the season while managing a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 31 appearances. He's expected to share the goaltending duties with Spencer Knight the rest of the way, and so far, it's shaking out as a true goalie rotation. That would line up Knight for Monday's game in Colorado, while Soderblom gets a more favorable matchup Thursday in San Jose.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Starting in Nashville
Rotowire
Soderblom will defend the road net against the Predators on Saturday, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Soderblom will get the second half of Chicago's back-to-back after Spencer Knight played in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah. The 25-year-old Soderblom has posted a record of 8-15-6 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 30 appearances this season. Nashville sits 29th in the league with 2.63 goals per game in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Falls to Sens in OT
Rotowire
Soderblom made 22 saves in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.
The game-winner came with some controversy, as Tim Stutzle crashed the net just 46 seconds into OT and wound up directing the puck past Soderblom with his skate, but it was ruled a good goal upon review. The 25-year-old netminder has appeared in five of Chicago's last six games, going 1-3-1 with a 3.28 GAA and .894 save percentage, but with Spencer Knight joining the team in the Seth Jones trade and likely to be handed the starting job at some point, Soderblom's workload should shrink down the stretch.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Set to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Soderblom is expected to start at home against Ottawa on Wednesday, per Mario Tirabassi of CHGO Sports.
Soderblom endured a six-game losing streak (0-4-2) from Jan. 30 to Feb. 27, but that came to an end Saturday when he stopped 28 of 31 shots en route to a 6-3 victory over Anaheim. He's now 8-15-5 with a 3.02 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 29 outings in 2024-25. Ottawa is tied for 21st in goals per game with 2.82. Spencer Knight is projected to back up Soderblom, which leaves Petr Mrazek as a healthy scratch.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Defeats Ducks
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
The game was scoreless after one period, but Soderblom had a 3-2 lead to protect going into the third and received enough support to get the job done. He snapped his six-game losing streak, earning his first win since Jan. 28 versus the Lightning. Soderblom is up to 8-15-5 with a 3.02 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 29 appearances this season. He's made great strides behind a bad team this season, but the Blackhawks traded Seth Jones for Spencer Knight on Saturday. As a result, Soderblom's status with Chicago has taken a significant hit. It's unclear if the team considers the 25-year-old a trade chip leading into Friday's deadline. If the Blackhawks close out the campaign with Petr Mrazek, Soderblom and Knight on the NHL roster, it could hurt the fantasy value for all three goalies.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Soderblom will protect the road goal versus the Ducks on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Unsurprisingly, Soderblom will get the start Saturday after Petr Mrazek's disastrous first-period in Vegas on Thursday. Soderblom was okay in relief in that contest, stopping 16 of 18 shots, but he ended up with the loss after the Blackhawks covered Mrazek's damage. Soderblom was winless in February, going 0-3-2 with an .895 save percentage and 17 goals allowed over five appearances.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Takes loss in relief appearance
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 16 of 18 shots in relief of Petr Mrazek in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Golden Knights.
The Blackhawks' comeback effort fell short, but it they got it close enough to stick Soderblom with the loss despite his passable performance. He's lost six straight appearances (0-4-2), allowing a total of 20 goals in that span. The 25-year-old netminder is down to 7-15-5 with a 3.02 GAA and an .906 save percentage through 28 appearances. There are no safe fantasy options in goal behind a defense this leaky, but fantasy managers in a pinch should consider Soderblom's performance the lesser of two evils compared to Mrazek's rough play of late. The Blackhawks wrap up their road trip in Anaheim on Saturday.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Strong showing in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 34 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Utah.
This was Soderblom's best game recently, but it wasn't enough to prevent his losing streak from reaching five games (0-3-2). The 25-year-old looked sharp but gave up goals to Clayton Keller and Lawson Crouse. Soderblom is now at 7-14-5 with a 3.02 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 27 appearances. Notably, this was his second start in a row. It's unclear if this is a signal of him pushing Petr Mrazek for the No. 1 job or just a one-off coaching decision by interim bench boss Anders Sorensen. The Blackhawks' road trip continues with a challenging visit to Vegas on Thursday.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Facing Utah
Rotowire
Soderblom is set to start on the road Tuesday versus Utah, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Soderblom is mired in a four-game losing streak and has only one win in his last nine starts. The 25-year-old has conceded 13 goals on 107 shots over three appearances in February. Utah is tied for 22nd in the NHL with 2.79 goals per game in 2024-25, but the club now has its full complement of forwards -- the Hockey Club's top six has recently been bolstered by the return of Dylan Guenther and Logan Cooley to the lineup.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Falls to Toronto
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed four goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Soderblom took his fourth straight loss (0-2-2), and he's allowed a total of 16 goals in that span. The opponents in that span have been largely challenging, and coupled with the Blackhawks' generally poor play, that makes winning tough for Soderblom. He's down to 7-13-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 26 outings this season. The Blackhawks begin a three-game road trip Tuesday in Utah.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Takes tough shootout loss
Rotowire
Soderblom turned aside 35 shots in regulation and overtime and eight of 10 shootout attempts in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Blues.
After a wild third period that saw five goals scored between the two teams, Soderblom kicked out five St. Louis shots in OT and was brilliant during the shootout before finally getting beaten by Radek Faksa for the winner in the 10th round. Soderblom has had some rotten luck, and some poor efforts from his defense, to begin 2025. The 25-year-old netminder is 2-3-4 since the beginning of January, facing at least 34 shots in eight of those outings while posting a 3.40 GAA despite a .906 save percentage.

Soderblom will defend the road net against the Blues on Saturday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Soderblom will get the second half of Chicago's back-to-back after Petr Mrazek played in Friday's 6-2 win over Nashville. The 25-year-old Soderblom has a 7-12-4 record with a 2.93 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 24 appearances this season.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Loses in overtime
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 34 of 38 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Soderblom did well to hold the fort late in the third period, allowing the Blackhawks to erase a two-goal deficit. A penalty in overtime put the Oilers on the power play, and Zach Hyman cashed in to hand Soderblom his third loss past regulation time in his last five outings. The 25-year-old netminder slipped to 7-12-4 with a 2.93 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. He'll likely make another start before the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- the Blackhawks host the Predators on Friday and visit the Blues on Saturday, which should allow one start each for Soderblom and Petr Mrazek.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: In goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Soderblom will get the starting nod at home versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom has just one victory in his last six appearances, going 1-3-2 with a 3.33 GAA over that stretch. Still, the 25-year-old netminder will be making his third appearance in the Blackhawks' last four outings, suggesting he will be given an extended look down the stretch ahead of Petr Mrazek. Still, Chicago heads into the international break with a back-to-back against the Predators and Blues on Friday and Saturday, respectively, so fantasy managers can expect the duo to split the workload.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Comes up short in Carolina
Rotowire
Soderblom turned aside 24 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
The 25-year-old netminder didn't play all that poorly, although he might want another crack at Mikko Rantanen's second-period tally, but Soderblom simply didn't get enough help from his offense during a game in which Chicago never held a lead. He has just one win in his last six outings, going 1-3-2 with a 3.33 GAA and .905 save percentage, and while Petr Mrazek has had some struggles of his own lately, Soderblom appears to be letting his chance to claim the No. 1 job slip away.
