Rotowire
Soderblom allowed five goals on 35 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.
The Blackhawks made an improbable third-period rally for a 4-3 lead, but Soderblom couldn't make it stick. He then gave up a goal to Adrian Kempe six seconds into overtime. Soderblom ends 2023-24 with a 5-22-2 record, a 3.92 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 32 outings. The Blackhawks will need to make significant improvements to the roster for Soderblom to be viable in most fantasy formats in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Blitzed by Nashville in latest loss
Rotowire
Soderblom turned away 35 of 40 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.
Soderblom was let down by Chicago's failure to kill off any penalties, resulting in three power-play goals from the visitors. The team also had no answer for Nashville's top offensive weapon, Filip Forsberg, who notched his 10th career NHL hat trick. Serving as the No. 2 option in goal behind Petr Mrazek, Soderblom has made 31 appearances this campaign, albeit with an uninspiring 5-22-1 record and ratios that simply don't help fantasy managers; the Swede has a 3.88 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Slated to start Thursday
Rotowire
Soderblom is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Thursday, according to Scott Powers of The Athletic.
The Ducks rank 30th offensively with 2.46 goals per game, so they're typically a favorable assignment for goaltenders. That said, Soderblom is having a very rough campaign, posting a 4-19-1 record, 4.02 GAA and .876 save percentage in 26 contests, so it's difficult to see him as a good fantasy option, even in a situation like this. Soderblom has also struggled recently, stopping just 42 of 50 shots (.840 save percentage) over his past two outings.

Soderblom was replaced immediately after giving up the fourth goal to Anze Kopitar at 14:19 of the first period. After winning his last two appearances, Soderblom's poor start Friday was a return to his play from much of the season. He's now at 4-19-1 with a 4.02 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 26 outings. Given his poor performance behind a bad team, the 24-year-old should be left off most fantasy rosters.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Wins second straight
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 32 of 36 shots in Sunday's 7-4 victory over Arizona.
It was an up-and-down outing for Soderblom, though he made some big saves while Chicago exploded for seven goals, giving the 24-year-old netminder back-to-back wins for the first time this year. Soderblom improves to 4-18-1 on the season with an .881 save percentage and 3.88 GAA. He could play his way into a timeshare with Petr Mrazek down the stretch behind a rebuilding Blackhawks team.
Soderblom stopped 30 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers.
The 24-year-old netminder remains mired in a winless streak, going 0-11-1 over his last 13 outings with a 4.12 GAA and .868 save percentage, but that stretch of futility has largely been a team effort -- Chicago hasn't scored more than two goals in any of his starts since before Christmas. Soderblom is firmly behind Petr Mrazek in the pecking order between the pipes, and that doesn't seem likely to change any time soon.
