Arvid Soderblom Takes On Devils Sunday
1 year agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Arvid Soderblom will start in Sunday's matchup against the Devils. He gets the nod for the fifth time this season as Chicago completes a back-to-back. Petr Mrazek carried the team to an impressive 5-2 victory over the Panthers on Saturday, making 38 saves. Mrazek has been the more successful Blackhawks goalie this season, with Soderblom going 1-3-0 so far. He started the year strongly but has struggled in his most recent outings, posting a 4.19 goals-against average for the season with a .868 save percentage. He gets a tough challenge on Sunday against a team that is among the top-scoring sides in the league, but New Jersey won't have Nico Hischier (upper body) and Jack Hughes (upper body) available, which significantly boosts Chicago's chances in the matchup.
