The New York Rangers have acquired goaltender Arvid Soderblom from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for netminder Spencer Martin on Sunday.
Soderblom, 27, had a 0-3-1 record with the Blackhawks this season with a 4.67 goals-against average and an .842 save percentage while serving as Spencer Knight’s backup.
The 6-foot-3 goalie had an 8-13-3 record last season with a 3.80 GAA and an .880 save percentage with the Blackhawks.
Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Blackhawks in 2021, Soderblom has a career 25-68-15 record with a 3.65 GAA and an .885 save percentage.
Soderblom is in the final season of a two-year, $5.5 million contract that carries a cap hit of $2.75 million and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
Martin, 31, joined the Rangers as a free agent in November of 2025 and is in the final year of a two-year, $1.625 million contract. He carries a cap hit of $850,000 and will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
The 6-foot-3 goalie has only appeared in one game this season, allowing three goals on 18 shots while picking up a no-decision in a 7-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 15.
He appeared in six games with the Rangers last season, going 1-3-0 with a 4.13 GAA and an .864 save percentage.
Drafted 63rd overall by the Colorado Avalanche in 2013, Martin has a career 25-33-8 record with a 3.62 GAA and an .881 save percentage split between the Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Carolina Hurricanes, and Rangers.
