Elmer Soderblom - NHL News & Rumors

First two points for new team Soderblom scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Soderblom had gone four games without a point to start his Pittsburgh tenure following a trade from Detroit. The 24-year-old has mostly been limited to a fourth-line role, and the return of Evgeni Malkin from a suspension cost Soderblom his power-play minutes Monday. Over 44 outings in total this season, he has five points, 52 shots on net, 69 hits and a minus-4 rating, so he's unlikely to emerge as a strong fantasy option down the stretch.

Headed for Steel City Soderblom was traded to Pittsburgh from Detroit on Friday in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick.

Impact Soderblom is currently mired in a 16-game pointless streak and has served as a healthy scratch for the last three games. All signs of a young player in need of change, something general manager Kyle Dubas has frequently targeted. It cost the Penguins a third-round pick they previously acquired from San Jose. Soderblom should be in the mix for a bottom-six role with the Pengs but may find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Cold on offense Soderblom was held off the scoresheet for a 15th straight game in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Soderblom was also scratched seven times in that span, though he's played every game since Jan. 10. The Red Wings have some depth players in the AHL that could get a look over Soderblom following the Olympic break. The 24-year-old has had a brutal season with just three points, 42 shots on net, 62 hits and a minus-4 rating over 38 appearances in a fourth-line role, which isn't going to cut it for a team with playoff aspirations.

Red Wings outlast Capitals 3-2 in OT to sweep home-and-home series

Elmer Soderblom's face explodes after being hit with the puck. Elmer Soderblom was leaking all over the ice on Sunday.

Tallies in Saturday's win Soderblom scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

Impact The goal was Soderblom's first since Oct. 28 versus the Blues. The 24-year-old forward had just one assist in 17 games between tallies, though he also missed eight contests in that span, seven of which were due to an undisclosed injury. Soderblom has a slightly more secure spot in the lineup with Jonatan Berggren now in St. Louis. For the season, Soderblom has three points, 25 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-3 rating over 23 appearances, so he won't be a factor in most fantasy formats without a significant uptick in offense.

Impact Soderblom snapped a 13-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old also missed seven games due to an undisclosed injury during his slump, and he was a healthy scratch once in that span. He's been a bottom-six regular when healthy this season, picking up two points, 24 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-3 rating over 19 appearances.

Returning from IR Soderblom (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Soderblom is available to play in Wednesday's game versus the Predators. Michael Rasmussen (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Soderblom will compete for bottom-six minutes moving forward.

Lands on IR Soderblom (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

Impact In a corresponding move, the Red Wings recalled Erik Gustafsson from AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday. Soderblom's placement on the IR list is retroactive to Nov. 9, so he can be activated whenever he's ready to return. However, he has missed the last six games, and it's unclear when he will be available to play. Soderblom has contributed one goal, 11 shots on net and 22 hits in 11 appearances this season.

Unavailable Saturday Soderblom (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup against Columbus on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Soderblom hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 9 against Chicago, and it's unclear if he will return to the lineup once he's healthy. He has chipped in one goal, 11 shots on net and 22 hits in 11 appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Thursday Soderblom (undisclosed) won't play versus the Islanders on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Soderblom was considered doubtful to play Thursday, so it's no surprise he wasn't able to suit up. He's a fringe player for the Red Wings at this point in the season, and that may make it difficult to know when he'll be available to return, as he may be cleared of the injury but still sit out as a scratch.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined with undisclosed injury Soderblom is doubtful against the Islanders on Thursday with an undisclosed injury, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Soderblom has missed the Red Wings' last four games, though it's not clear if that was entirely due to injury or being a healthy scratch. In 11 outings this season, the 24-year-old winger has managed a solitary point, so he may be hard-pressed to force his way back in the lineup even once given the all-clear.

Deposits goal Tuesday Soderblom scored a goal, fired two shots on net and dished out three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over St. Louis.

Impact Soderblom found the back of the net for the first time since signing a two-year contract extension in July. The 24-year-old winger's goal served as his first point of the season through five games. In his limited action, he has 10 hits through five games, proving he can carry his weight in a checking role. Keep an eye on Soderblom to see if his expected bump in playing time at the NHL level can warrant a career year. For now, however, he is best left on waivers in fantasy.
