Carl Soderberg will play for his hometown team next season.

The 35-year-old forward is going to suit up for Swedish club Malmo in 2021-22, reports The Athletic's Peter Baugh.

Soderberg, who was a pending unrestricted free agent, scored a goal and added an assist in four playoff games with the Colorado Avalanche this spring after collecting a pair of assists in 11 contests down the stretch.

Colorado acquired him from the Chicago Blackhawks in a trade on deadline day in April. He posted seven goals and eight assists in 34 games with the Blackhawks after signing as a free agent in December.

Soderberg tallied 17 goals and 18 assists with the Arizona Coyotes in 2019-20. He spent the previous four campaigns with the Avalanche before they traded him to the Coyotes in June 2019. The nine-year veteran played his first three seasons with the Boston Bruins.

The St. Louis Blues drafted Soderberg 49th overall in 2004. They dealt him to the Bruins about three years later.
