Soderblom was a sixth-round pick of the Red Wings in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The towering 6'8 forward played 21 games with the Red Wings in the 2022-23 season, scoring eight points (5G / 3A), but has not played since. He has 17 points (5G / 12A) in 38 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) this season.
The 6'6 Swedish power-forward opened last season with the Red Wings, recording eight points (5G / 3A) in 21 games before playing the remainder of his season in the AHL. Soderblom will look to continue his growth and further adapt to the North American game as he begins his season with the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Soderblom has five goals, three assists, 30 SOG and eight PIMs through 20 games but will be a healthy scratch Friday as Detroit takes on Florida. Adam Erne will be replacing him in the lineup.
Soderblom heads back to the Red Wings for a second time this season after scoring two goals and getting six PIMs with a -5 plus/minus through 13 games to start his career. The towering, 6'8" forward had no points in his two games with Grand Rapids (AHL) prior to his callup.
Soderblom will miss his first game of the 2022-23 season due to an undisclosed injury as he is considered day-to-day. Through 13 games in his rookie season so far, the 6'8" forward has two goals and is a -5 plus/minus while averaging 12:58 ATOI.
