The Chicago Blackhawks are having a nightmare start to the 2026-27 NHL season, as evidenced by their 4-13-1 record.

The Blackhawks are also showing no signs of improvement, as they have lost six of their last games. This included a 9-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in their last game.

Like the Blackhawks in general, Soderblom has had a rough start to the season. In five games so far this campaign with the Blackhawks, he has a 0-3-1 record, an .842 save percentage, and a 4.67 goals-against average. He has also allowed at least three goals in each of his five appearances this season with the Blackhawks.

If Soderblom passes through waivers unclaimed, the Blackhawks will then be able to assign him to their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs.

Soderblom is currently in his sixth season with the Blackhawks. In 117 games with the Blackhawks over that span, he has posted a 25-68-15 record, an .885 save percentage, a 3.65 goals-against average, and one shutout.

Soderblom is in the final season of his contract and carries a $2.75 million cap hit.
