The Chicago Blackhawks placed goaltender Arvid Soderblom on waivers Sunday, marking the team's first significant roster move of the season. The transaction was reported by Chicago Hockey Now on November 8, 2026.
Soderblom, 25, has appeared in 44 NHL games for Chicago over the past three seasons, posting a 3.32 goals-against average and .895 save percentage. The Swedish netminder was claimed off waivers from the Blackhawks earlier in his career before being reacquired.
If he clears waivers, Soderblom would likely be assigned to the Rockford IceHogs, Chicago's AHL affiliate. The move suggests the Blackhawks are confident in their current goaltending depth at the NHL level.
