Chicago Blackhawks make deal with center Carl Soderberg

The Chicago Blackhawks and free-agent center Carl Soderberg have agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract. The move bolsters Chicago’s forward depth after it lost Kirby Dach and Alex Nylander to injuries. The 35-year-old Soderberg had 17 goals and 18 assists in 70 games for Arizona last season. Soderberg also appeared in nine postseason games, collecting a goal and an assist. Soderberg has 103 goals and 177 assists in 552 regular-season games with the Bruins, Avalanche, and Coyotes.
