Soderblom has been limited to only one start in the last eight games for the Blackhawks but will likely return to the crease on Wednesday. The Swedish netminder has failed to record a victory in his last 12 appearances (0-10-1) for the bottom-dwelling Blackhawks, posting an ugly .864 SV% while allowing three or more goals in all but two contests. The Blackhawks are +168 home underdogs against a Philadelphia Flyers club riding a two-game losing skid.
Arvid Soderblom News
Soderblom will make his first start since January 24th as he takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. The 24-year-old has been historically horrendous this season, with his 2-15-1 record, 4.07 GAA and .874 SV%. He will face the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are on the back half of a back-to-back and have lost three straight games after getting news Thursday that their leading scoring Jake Guentzel will now miss the next four weeks.
Petr Mrazek was rewarded with a two-year contract extension on Wednesday, but the Blackhawks will turn to Soderblom between the pipes for only his second start in the last two weeks. Despite his lack of play, Soderblom has been serviceable lately, allowing three or fewer goals in his last three starts (0-3-0) and posting a solid .918 SV%. That said, the Blackhawks are +262 road underdogs against a Seattle Kraken team outscored 15-5 in their last four games (0-4-0).
Petr Mrazek's run of five consecutive starts will be over after all as Soderblom will be in the crease for Chicago on Thursday. Soderblom was originally projected to play the tail-end of a back-to-back on Wednesday, but the postponement of that game to Thursday opened up the door for the red-hot Mrazek to stay between the pipes. Nevertheless it will be Soderblom in goal, who hasn't played since January 5th. Soderlbom owns an abysmal 2-13-1 record on the season to go along with his .875 SV%. Things won't get any easier for him on Thursday with the Blackhawks being +225 underdogs in Buffalo.
Soderblom will draw the Blackhawks' crease for a second-straight game as he tries to break a perosnal seven game losing streak on the road in New Jersey Friday. The 24-year-old sophomore has been terrible yet again in 2023-24, with wins only against the Toronto Maple Leafs leading to his 2-12-1 record, 4.07 GAA and .874 SV%. He heads to New Jersey to take on the Devils, who have won four of their last five matchups and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.53).
Petr Mrazek started the last three games for the Blackhawks, but after allowing 11 goals in his last two starts, the team will turn to Soderblom on Tuesday. Soderblom has not recorded a victory in seven appearances (0-5-1), posting an ugly .846 SV%. The Blackhawks are sizeable +247 road underdogs against a Predators team that has struggled lately, losing three of their last four (1-2-1), but defeated the Blackhawks 4-3 in a shootout on December 5th.

Soderblom will likely start on Thursday and hope to rebound after allowing four goals on 27 shots (.852 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Washington Capitals in his last start. The Blackhawks have struggled in all facets this season, but Soderblom has easily been the weaker of two goalies, recording only two of the team's nine wins and posting an ugly 3.66 GAA and .882 SV%. Soderblom and the Blackhawks will see one of their better matchups this season on Thursday but are still +207 road underdogs against the Seattle Kraken, who rank fourth-worst in the league offensively (2.57 GF / GP) and have lost eight of their last nine games (1-6-2).
Soderblom has only one victory in his last nine appearances but will likely start on Tuesday for a struggling Blackhawks team that has been outscored 12-3 over their last three games (0-3-0). Soderblom has an undesirable 3.71 GAA and .883 SV% in 11 games (2-8-0) this season as the Blackhawks are sizeable +167 home underdogs against a Nashville Predators team that ranks mid-pack in the league offensively (3.17 GF / GP).

Soderblom will start for the first time in three games Saturday as he takes on Winnipeg on the road. The 24-year-old has only beaten the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2023-24 and holds a non-inspiring 2-7-0 record, 3.78 GAA and .882 SV% in 10 games played. He takes on the Winnipeg Jets on the road, who is looking to snap a three-game losing streak and are 14th in the NHL in goals per game (3.27).
Soderblom will attempt to snap a personal five-game losing streak Friday as he draws the start vs. Toronto at home. The 24-year-old has struggled for a third consecutive season, with his 1-6-0 record, 3.89 GAA, and .879 SV%. He will look to snap Toronto's four-game winning streak, who are seventh in the NHL in goals per game (3.53) and 11th in shots per game (31.7).
The Blackhawks' goalie carousel will continue Saturday vs. Nashville as Arvid Soderblom takes the crease after a shaky previous performance where he stopped 27 of 31 shots (.871 SV%) in a loss. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily in 2023-24, with his 1-5-0 record, 3.99 GAA, and .881 SV%. He draws the struggling Nashville Predators on the road Saturday, who have lost four straight games and are 21st in the NHL in goals per game (2.93).
Soderblom will return to Chicago's crease on Sunday after Petr Mrazek got the not against the Lightning on Thursday. Soderblom was effective his last time out, stopping 37 of the 40 shots he faced in last Sunday's 4-2 defeat to the Devils. The 24-year-old netminder owns an .883 SV% and a 3.96 GAA across five starts this season. He's little more than a desperation play today with Chicago being a +225 underdog on the road in Florida.
Soderblom was pulled after allowing seven goals on 22 shots in the Blackhawks blowout loss in Arizona on Tuesday. After a strong start to the season, where he stopped 65 of 68 shots in his first two starts, Soderblom has been torched for 12 goals on 46 shots (.739 SV%) in his last two starts. Tonight he'll face a Devils team that will be without Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier, but Soderblom and the Blackhawks are still +179 underdogs.
Soderblom was shelled in his previous start vs Vegas after allowing five goals on 24 shots (.792 SV%) but will take the crease Monday in Arizona. The 24-year-old has been solid this season besides the last game, as he has a 1-2-0 record, .913 SV% and 2.68 GAA. He heads to Arizona to take on the Coyotes on Monday, who are coming off back-to-back losses to Los Angeles and are 23rd in the NHL in goals per game (2.71).
