Soderblom will start in Arizona on Tuesday.

The Blackhawks will turn to Soderblom on Tuesday after Petr Mrazek got the nod for Monday's game in Colorado. Soderblom was saddled with yet another loss his last time out, surrendering four goals on 30 shots enroute to a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Blue Jackets. Soderblom has not won since November 24th, and owns a comically poor 2-18-1 record on the season. He finds himself in familiar territory on Tuesday as the Blackhawks are +225 underdogs in Arizona.

He has three points (0G / 3A) in his last four games after being held without a point in seven games straight.

The 30-year-old defenseman has zero points in his last 12 games and will be a game-time decision on Thursday against the Calgary Flames.

The Blackhawks are +168 home underdogs against a Philadelphia Flyers club riding a two-game losing skid.
