The 22-year-old returns to the minors, where he concluded his season with two goals, 21 points, 28 PIMs and a -11 plus/minus through 44 games played.
Soderstrom recently returned to the Tucson lineup after missing 17 games with an injury. Soderstrom has no points in 13 NHL games this season but has compiled 13 points (2G / 11A) in 23 games with Tucson. It's unclear whether Soderstrom will draw into the lineup on Monday.
It will be the 2019 No.11 overall pick's third career NHL game. The 20-year-old defenseman has spent the majority of the season in Tucson (AHL), where he has two goals and seven assists (nine points) in 30 games.
The rookie defenseman played in the last two games, averaging 13:41 TOI, but is expected to sit tonight vs. the Ducks. The Coyotes may give him the night off and Jordan Gross would make his season debut.
