Detroit Red Wings left wing Elmer Soderblom (undisclosed) is ready to rejoin the action on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Detroit has not played him for four games because Soderblom has been dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old scored his fourth goal of the season in his last appearance against the Utah Hockey Club and has amassed 10 points in 23 outings with 31 shots. Soderblom is projected to skate with Tyler Motte and Craig Smith on the fourth line in Friday's game, limiting his fantasy appeal. Austin Watson will make room in the lineup for Soderblom.
Detroit Red Wings left wing Elmer Soderblom (undisclosed) will not play on Thursday evening against the Ottawa Senators. Soderblom was unable to play in their previous contest and has missed two out of his past three contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday evening against the Boston Bruins. Since the start of the month (10 games), Soderblom has found the back of the net twice and added two helpers. During this stretch, Soderblom has logged 10 shots on goal and added 10 hits and six blocked shots. With the 23-year-old sitting out on Thursday, fantasy managers should expect Jonatan Berggren to remain in the starting lineup and play on the third offensive line.
Detroit Red Wings winger Elmer Soderblom will sit out Thursday's matchup against the Rangers with an undisclosed injury. The 21-year-old rookie misses his first game of the season and is considered day-to-day. Soderblom has been skating in the bottom six so far, notching two goals in 13 games. He will be replaced in the lineup by Jonatan Berggren, who will make his NHL debut Thursday. The 22-year-old has started the AHL campaign in hot form and his numbers in the minors have been pretty impressive, with Berggren notching 71 points in 77 since moving to North America last year.
