On Wednesday, the Blackhawks announced they have signed pending RFA goaltender Arvid Söderblom to a two-year contract extension at𒀰 a $962,500 cap hꦯit.

Söderblom, 23, went 15-12-5 with a 2.92 GAA and a .905 save percentag🌺e with the Rockford IceHogs this season. In 15 NHL a🎶ppearances with the Blackhawks this past year, he posted a 3.45 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage.

This almost certainly locks up the Blackhawks’ depth chart in net for the coming season. One would figure Söderblom moves up to the NHL with Petr Mrazek while Drew Commesso and Jaxson Stauber hold it down in Rockford.
