What happened: The New York Rangers finalized a goaltender swap on Sunday, acquiring Arvid Soderblom from Chicago in exchange for Spencer Martin. The transaction sends Martin to Chicago while New York adds netminding depth.

Why it matters: Soderblom cleared waivers on Nov. 8 after Chicago placed him on the wire earlier in the week. The move reshuffles organizational crease depth for both clubs midway through November of the 2026-27 regular season.

What to watch: Both netminders await assignment to determine whether they report directly to NHL rosters or their respective AHL affiliates.
