Soderblom allowed two goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 6-2 preseason win over the Blues in Milwaukee.
Soderblom's performance was strong, but it's important to note the Blues dressed a mostly AHL-level roster. With four goals allowed on 59 shots over two preseason starts, Soderblom should at least have some confidence entering 2024-25. He'll likely begin the season in the NHL while Laurent Brossoit (knee) finishes up his recovery, and that could lead to Soderblom making a start next week since the Blackhawks have a back-to-back in Winnipeg and Edmonton for their second and third games of the year.
