The Chicago Blackhawks flew back home Monday after finishing their six-game road trip. Goaltender Arvid Söderblom said it after his 45-save performance in the 5-1 win against the Red Wings in Detroit — they were ready to come home.

In his 15-year Blackhawks career, the team made the playoffs every season, and he holds the Blackhawks goalie records for most wins (418) and shutouts (74).
