Soderstrom was called up from AHL Providence on Thursday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.
The Bruins were down to five healthy defensemen after Michael Callahan suffered a lower-body injury Tuesday. Soderstrom will likely see third-pairing minutes if Callahan is unable to go, alongside Mason Lohrei. Soderstrom, who was selected 11th overall in 2019 by Arizona, had one goal and nine points in 18 AHL appearances before his recall.

Bruins' Victor Soderstrom: Nabs two helpers in win
Rotowire
Soderstrom posted two assists in AHL Providence's 3-2 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Soderstrom is up to seven helpers in 13 AHL games this season. The 24-year-old is back in North America on a one-year contract, but he's yet to get a call-up to the Bruins. Soderstrom wasn't able to solidify an NHL job with the Coyotes over parts of four seasons before spending last year in his native Sweden. He's apparently buried on the depth chart, as both Jonathan Aspirot and Michael Callahan have been called up before Soderstrom to help replenish Boston's blue-line depth.

Blackhawks' Victor Soderstrom: From Windy City to Beantown
Rotowire
Soderstrom's NHL rights have been traded from the Blackhawks to the Bruins in exchange for Ryan Mast and a seventh-round pick, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports Friday.

It remains to be seen if this move is a precursor for a return to North America with the Bruins organization, but it should be noted that he has one year left on a two-year deal with Brynas signed in September of 2024. Soderstrom has 11 points in 53 career NHL games.
