He also competed with a regional all-star team from Västerbotten in the annual TV-pucken, an under-15 national tournament, and notched one goal and one assists over eight games.

In the 2021–22 season, Söderlund split time between the Oilers AHL and ECHL affiliates in the Bakersfield Condors and the Wichita Thunder. Unable to make an impact at the AHL level, Söderlund was placed on unconditional waivers by the Oilers and after clearing he opted to mutually terminate the remainder of his contract in order to return to Sweden on 22 January 2022.
