Soderblom was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Monday.
Soderblom's demotion comes as Alex Stalock (concussion) was activated off injured reserve. During his extended look in the NHL, the 23-year-old Soderblom underwhelmed with a 2-10-2 record, 3.45 GAA and .894 save percentage in 15 appearances. Still, with Stalock not under contract next season, Soderblom could be in line for a spot on the NHL roster next year.

Rotowire
Soderblom turned aside 19 of 26 shots during a 7-1 loss to the Rangers on Sunday.
Soderblom surrendered a career-worst seven goals, allowing seven different Rangers to score in the rout. The 23-year-old netminder has dropped five consecutive starts, bringing his record to 2-10-2. Soderblom has allowed at least three goals in every game during the losing streak, and he surrendered that many in the first period alone Sunday.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Tending twine Sunday
Rotowire
Soderblom will patrol the home crease Sunday against the Rangers, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom hasn't posted a victory since Nov. 12, which was a 39-save performance against Anaheim. He has a 2-9-2 record this season with a 3.17 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 14 appearances. The Rangers rank 17th in the league this year with 3.16 goals per game. New York is also riding a six-game win streak going into Sunday's matchup with Chicago.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Lacks support in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed three goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Soderblom didn't have any support from his offense until late in the third period, and it was too late to make a difference. He hasn't won a game since Nov. 12, and he's limited opponents to two or fewer goals just twice in the nine-game span, one of which was a relief outing. For the season, Soderblom owns a 2-9-2 with a 3.17 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Those are respectable ratios given the team in front of him, but they're likely not enough to help in most fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Soderblom is set to face Vegas at home Thursday, according to Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.
Soderblom has lost his last three contests, while surrendering nine goals on 101 shots. He has a 2-8-2 record, 3.18 GAA and .906 save percentage in 13 games this season. The Golden Knights have the 13th-ranked offense at 3.29 goals per game.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Holds Jets down, not out
Rotowire
Soderblom turned aside 29 shots during Friday's 3-1 loss to the visiting Jets.
Soderblom's rookie struggles continued, despite allowing "only" three goals to the Jets, who entered Friday with five markers in each of their previous three wins. The 23-year-old netminder remains winless since Nov. 12, a span of seven starts (0-6-1). Soderblom (2-8-2) allowed Blake Wheeler to score the eventual game-winner 56 seconds into the second stanza, dropping the Blackhawks to 1-9-2 in their past 12 outings.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Taking on Jets
Rotowire
Soderblom will defend the blue paint during Friday's home game versus Winnipeg, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Soderblom wasn't great in his last start Tuesday against the Devils, surrendering three goals on 29 shots en route to a 3-0 defeat. He'll try to snap his personal six-game losing streak in a tough matchup with a surging Jets team that's won three straight contests, racking up 15 goals over that span.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Allows three goals in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom saved 26 of 29 shots in Chicago's 3-0 loss to New Jersey on Tuesday.
Soderblom dropped to 0-5-1 over his last seven games, which brings the 23-year-old down to 2-7-2 with a 3.19 GAA and .906 save percentage in 12 contests this season. He's likely to get the balk of Chicago's starts as long as Petr Mrazek (groin) and Alex Stalock (concussion) are unavailable. Soderblom isn't expected to do well as the starter though, especially given how badly the Blackhawks have played in 2022-23.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Starting second straight
Rotowire
Soderblom will patrol the road crease during Tuesday's game versus the Devils, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom played pretty well in his last appearance Sunday against the Islanders, turning aside 37 of 40 shots, but he still came away with a loss due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll try to snap his personal five-game losing streak in a tough road matchup with a red-hot New Jersey team that's 9-3-1 at home this year.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: No help in shutout loss
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed three goals on 40 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Islanders.
The three goals were scored in a span of 6:16 during the second period, and the Blackhawks' offense failed to give Soderblom any support. With Petr Mrazek (groin) out for at least a week, Soderblom will be the main main in Chicago's crease. Soderblom has gone 2-6-2 with a 3.21 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 11 outings. The Blackhawks have only two games this week, as they wrap up a road trip in New Jersey on Tuesday and then host Winnipeg on Friday. With the light schedule and tough opponents, Soderblom can probably be left on the waiver wire in most formats.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Starting against Islanders
Rotowire
Soderblom will start Sunday's road game against the Islanders, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom made five saves on six shots in relief in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Rangers after Petr Mrazek left the game with a groin injury. The former has a 2-5-2 record this season with a 3.23 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 10 appearances. Soderblom should see an increase in playing time with Mrazek projected to miss at least a week.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Makes five saves in relief
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped five of six shots in Chicago's 5-2 win against the Rangers on Saturday.
Petr Mrazek started the contest, but he suffered a groin injury and Soderblom was consequently put in net for the third period. The 23-year-old has a 2-5-2 record, 3.23 GAA and .904 save percentage in 10 games this season. Mrazek isn't expected to be out long-term, but for as long as he's unavailable, Soderblom is likely to serve as the No. 1 goaltender.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Gives up five goals in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed five goals on 41 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
As expected, the Oilers had a majority of the possession, and their best players were able to routinely cash in over the final two periods. Soderblom has lost his last four outings (0-3-1), dropping to 2-5-2 with a 3.24 GAA and a .905 save percentage in nine outings overall. The Blackhawks begin a three-game road trip with a back-to-back versus the Rangers on Saturday and Islanders on Sunday, so Soderblom's next start could be as soon as this weekend.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Set to start against Oilers
Rotowire
Soderblom is slated to guard the cage versus Edmonton at home Wednesday, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Soderblom is stuck in a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 3.61 GAA and .886 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload with Petr Mrazek and figures to continue to share the starts moving forward. As such, neither netminder should be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Falls to Habs in shootout
Rotowire
Soderblom turned aside 21 shots in regulation and overtime but failed to stop any of Montreal's three shootout attempts in Friday's 3-2 loss.
The 23-year-old netminder was sharp during the first 65 minutes, but the Habs' skaters had his number in the shootout. Soderblom is 2-4-2 since becoming part of Chicago's regular rotation in the crease with a 3.00 GAA and .910 save percentage, and those numbers may not be good enough to keep him in the NHL once Alex Stalock (concussion) is cleared to return.

Soderblom will guard the home crease against Montreal on Friday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Soderblom is 2-4-1 with a 3-19 GAA and a .909 save percentage this season. The Blackhawks are last in the Central Division with only 15 points in 19 games. They will face the Canadiens, who are 10-9-1, scoring 3.10 goals per game.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Struggles against Penguins
Rotowire
Soderblom allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Soderblom gave up the first three goals of the game, but the Blackhawks were able to erase that deficit. Just 57 seconds after Philipp Kurashev tied the game in the third period, Sidney Crosby responded to put the Penguins ahead for good. Soderblom took consecutive regulation losses for the first time this year. He's now at 2-4-1 with a 3.19 GAA and a .909 save percentage. Soderblom and Petr Mrazek will likely continue to share the crease while Alex Stalock (concussion) is out of action.

Soderblom will patrol the home crease Sunday against Pittsburgh, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Soderblom will get the second half of Chicago's back-to-back after Petr Mrazek played in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Boston. The former has a 2-3-1 record this season with a 3.03 GAA and a .918 save percentage in six appearances. Pittsburgh has won two straight games, including a 3-0 victory over Winnipeg on Saturday.
Soderblom will patrol the home net Wednesday against St. Louis, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Soderblom is coming off a 39-save performance in last Saturday's 3-2 win over Anaheim. He has a 2-2-1 record this season with a 2.60 GAA and a .931 save percentage through five appearances.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Snags win in Anaheim
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 39 of 41 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
It was an ugly start for Soderblom, as he gave up a Troy Terry goal 19 seconds in. Adam Henrique scored midway through the first period, but a two-goal effort from Jarred Tinordi and a Filip Roos tally gave the Blackhawks the win. Soderblom did his part admirably to earn his second win of the season. He's now at 2-2-1 with 12 goals allowed through five outings. With Petr Mrazek healthy again, Soderblom's likely to fill in as the backup until Alex Stalock (concussion) can return.
