Arvid Soderblom Expected to Start for Blackhawks Against Utah

Arvid Soderblom is slated to make his season debut in goal for the Chicago Blackhawks on the road against Utah on Thursday. The start comes after Spencer Knight allowed four goals on 36 shots during Chicago's 5-2 season-opening loss to Vegas. While Knight is projected to handle the majority of the team's workload, the 27-year-old Soderblom is expected to make over 25 starts in 2026-27 after posting an 8-13-3 record, 3.80 GAA, and .880 save percentage across 26 appearances last season.
