Arvid Soderblom recorded his first NHL shutout with 22 saves as the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Utah Mammoth 4-0 at Delta Center on Sunday. Teuvo Teravainen scored twice to help Chicago end a three-game losing streak. The win came in Soderblom's 104th NHL appearance and his first start since January 29.
The Chicago Blackhawks (23-28-9) snapped a three-game skid with a 4-0 victory over the Utah Mammoth (31-25-4) on March 1, 2026, at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Goaltender Arvid Soderblom earned his first NHL shutout, stopping all 22 shots he faced in his 104th career game and first appearance since a 6-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on January 29.
Teuvo Teravainen, fresh off helping Team Finland secure bronze at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, led the offense with two goals. He opened the scoring with a power-play tally at 19:06 of the first period, rebounding a shot and beating Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka on the blocker side for a 1-0 lead. In the second period, Nick Foligno notched his 250th NHL goal at 11:38, deking Vejmelka with a backhand on a loose puck to make it 2-0. Landon Slaggert followed 1:29 later at 13:07, wristing a shot from the slot that deflected off Vejmelka's glove for a 3-0 advantage.
Teravainen sealed the game with a short-handed goal at 1:25 of the third period, firing a wrist shot past Vejmelka to complete the 4-0 final. Vejmelka finished with 24 saves for Utah, which has dropped two of its three games since returning from the Olympic break.
This matchup was the second of four meetings between the teams this season, following Chicago's 3-1 win over Utah on October 13 at United Center. The Blackhawks entered the game after a 3-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, where they went perfect on the penalty kill.
