Goalie Arvid Soderblom is officially back in the fold.
The Chicago Blackhawks announced the team avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year deal with their backup netminder.
Soderblom's cap hit is $2.75 million.
The Hawks got Soderblom at the ideal price and for the correct number of years.
The cap hit might be a bit higher than what was projected, but the Blackhawks have cap space to spare. It secures the Hawks having at least one goalie under contract through the 2026-27 season.
Spencer Knight is the team's assumed No.
