Arvid Soderblom G | CHI
Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Allows five goals in loss
Soderblom stopped 18 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
Soderblom was spotted a 2-0 lead in the first period, but it was gone by the end of the second. The Bruins didn't let up in the third, sending Soderblom to his first loss since Dec. 20. The 26-year-old netminder has gone 5-8-1 with a 3.97 GAA and an .868 save percentage over 15 appearances, numbers that make him virtually unplayable in most fantasy formats. He'll continue to occupy the backup role behind Spencer Knight, who will likely start at home against the Jets on Monday.

Hampus Lindholm D | BOS
Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Nabs assist in return
Lindholm logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Lindholm saw 20:03 of ice time in his return from a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old looks good to go for top-four minutes once again, though he's become a substantial injury risk whose scoring hasn't made up for it. He's at 15 points, 60 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 35 outings this season. He's earned four of those points over his last three games.
