Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Surrenders six goals in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed six goals on 39 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.
With the Blackhawks going ultra-young for the rest of the season, that's created some gaps in the system. It showed Friday, as Soderblom struggled under pressure behind a green defensive unit. He's gone 2-3-1 in March, allowing at least four goals in each of his losses. He's at 7-12-3 with a 3.79 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. Spencer Knight will probably get the nod for Sunday's game versus the Devils to close out this road trip.

Rotowire
Soderblom allowed four goals on 49 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Soderblom was under pressure all game as the Avalanche outshot the Blackhawks 49-20. The 26-year-old did his best to keep the game close, but that was an uphill battle from the start. It's a third straight loss for Soderblom, who has given up 12 goals on 100 shots in that span. He's now at a 6-11-3 record with a 3.72 GAA and an .879 save percentage over 21 outings this season.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Gives up four goals in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 16 of 20 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks. The final two goals were empty-netters.
Soderblom has won just two of his six starts since the beginning of January. The results haven't been encouraging either, as the 26-year-old netminder owns a 2-3-1 mark with an .885 save percentage in that stretch. Settled into the No. 2 role behind Spencer Knight, Soderblom is better suited to be a matchup-based, streaming alternative in most formats outside of the very deep ones.

Rotowire
Soderblom will guard the home goal versus the Canucks on Friday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom will get a start in a soft matchup against the NHL's worst team. The 26-year-old posted a 22-save shutout over the Mammoth in his last outing. This is the kind of game where Soderblom is a viable streaming and DFS option for fantasy managers.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Tough shootout loss to Bolts
Rotowire
Soderblom turned aside 30 shots in regulation and overtime and two of five shootout attempts in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Lightning.
Nikita Kucherov was the only player to get a puck past Soderblom before the shootout. However, the 26-year-old Soderblom struggled with the extra point on the line, as Kucherov, Gage Goncalves and Dominic James all scored in the shootout. It was still the first time Soderblom had allowed fewer than two goals in a start since Nov. 9 against Detroit. He sports a 5-8-2 record in 16 outings this season with a 3.75 GAA and an .874 save percentage.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Out of action Friday
Rotowire
Soderblom (illness) is not expected to suit up Friday versus the Capitals, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
The Blackhawks are dealing with significant illness issues, which will sideline both Soderblom and Spencer Knight. Drew Commesso was called up from AHL Rockford earlier in the day and will get the start, and he may be needed Saturday in Nashville as well if neither of the two regular goalies are healthy.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Little work in overtime win
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 13 of 15 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Soderblom was lightly tested Sunday, and that appears to be a good way to keep him from giving up too many goals. He allowed tallies to Brandon Saad and Mark Stone, but a Tyler Bertuzzi hat trick carried the Blackhawks to the win. Soderblom now has two wins over his last three outings despite allowed eight goals on 61 shots in that span. For the season, he's at a 5-7-1 record with a 3.87 GAA and an .873 save percentage in 14 contests. Spencer Knight is likely to get the nod Wednesday versus the Blues, but Soderblom should get a start during the upcoming back-to-back that features games Friday at home versus the Capitals and Saturday on the road in Nashville.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Makes 28 saves in shootout win
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Stars.
Soderblom was beaten once in each frame, but the Blackhawks forced a shootout thanks to a third-period goal from Tyler Bertuzzi. Soderblom was excellent in the shootout, stopping three of four shots to get his first win since mid-November and snap a streak of five straight losses. The 26-year-old has allowed three or more goals in each of his last six outings, so even though he got the win here, fantasy managers can't be happy with his recent performances.

Rotowire
Soderblom will guard the home goal versus the Red Wings on Saturday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Soderblom has allowed 20 goals on 113 shots during his three-game losing streak. He's not in a particularly good spot for this contest, as the Blackhawks are in the second half of a back-to-back. The Red Wings have scored 23 goals over their last six games, going 4-1-1 in that span.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Peppered by pucks in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 46 of 53 shots in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Ducks.
Soderblom had to eat this one after Spencer Knight was torched for six goals in Saturday's loss to the Kings. Over his last three games, all losses, Soderblom has gotten pummeled for 20 goals on 113 shots. The Blackhawks are reportedly looking for a change of scenery for Laurent Brossoit (hip), who is on a conditioning loan at AHL Rockford after not playing in 2024-25, but Soderblom's struggles could change those plans. Soderblom is 3-5-1 with a 3.93 GAA and an .877 save percentage, numbers nearly identical to his marks from 2023-24 in the depths of the Blackhawks' rebuild. Look for Spencer Knight to start Wednesday versus the Rangers, though Soderblom could be between the pipes once during a back-to-back in St. Louis on Friday and at home versus the Red Wings on Saturday.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Tending twine in Anaheim
Rotowire
Soderblom will patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Ducks, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

The Ducks are 3-2-0 in their last five games, a stretch in which they've netted 14 goals.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Beaten nine times Friday
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 21 of 30 shots in Friday's 9-3 loss to Buffalo.
Soderblom has started three of the Blackhawks' last six games, but this will probably go down as one of the worst performances of his career. He was on a run of posting a save percentage of at least .900 in three of his previous four outings, a stretch where he'd gone 2-2-0 with a 2.04 GAA and a .929 save percentage, so this subpar showing came out of nowhere. Soderblom will aim to recover in his next start, and if the Blackhawks continue to rotate netminders, that game might come against the Wild on Wednesday at home.

Soderblom will protect the home goal versus the Flames on Tuesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

He's 2-2-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage over five games. The Flames have scored just 12 goals over their last six contests, going 2-3-1 in that span, and they continue to have the worst offense in the league.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Beaten three times Monday
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 21 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.
Soderblom was beaten twice in the second period and once more in the final frame. The 26-year-old has lost in three of his four appearances this season, going 1-2-1 with a 3.04 GAA and an .885 save percentage. He's strictly a backup behind Spencer Knight, so Soderblom's upside is limited across all formats, as he's only valuable in specific matchups -- and mainly in deep formats.
