Kaedan Korczak - NHL News & Rumors

Waiting for next chance Korczak was scratched for the fourth straight game when he sat out Thursday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Korczak was a regular in the lineup when the Golden Knights were dealing with injuries on the blue line. Now that the team has its preferred six defensemen healthy, Korczak is back to being a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old didn't help his own cause, going minus-4 during an 11-game point drought prior to his return to the press box. He has three assists, 13 shots on net, 27 hits and 20 blocked shots over 17 outings this season.

Posts helper Friday Korczak notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-2 win over Utah.

Impact Korczak was used in a versatile role Friday, taking some shifts as a forward and others as a defenseman. He's been in the lineup for two of the last three games as the Golden Knights deal with the absence of Mark Stone (lower body). Korczak doesn't have a secure spot in the lineup, but he's managed three assists, a plus-8 rating, 11 hits, 10 blocked shots and six shots on net over his six appearances this season. He could be an option to stay in the lineup over Ben Hutton during Nicolas Hague's (undisclosed) stay on injured reserve.

Registers assist in loss Korczak notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Korczak has two helpers over four appearances this season. He's been filling in for Nicolas Hague (lower body) in recent games, though Korczak has been limited to bottom-four minutes. The 23-year-old Korczak has added four shots on net, five hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-7 rating, so he may be auditioning to stay in the lineup even once Hague is healthy.

Snags helper in season debut Korczak logged an assist, three blocked shots and two hits in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Korczak drew into the lineup on short notice after Shea Theodore (illness) was scratched. In his season debut, Korczak played 17:22 in a bottom-four role. The 23-year-old blueliner made the Golden Knights' roster out of camp, but with limited opportunities to play and a more experienced extra blueliner in Ben Hutton around as well, Korczak has little fantasy appeal. If the Vegas defense starts to struggle, Korczak could push Zach Whitecloud or Nicolas Hague for playing time.

He's up to one goal, three helpers, seven shots on net, eight hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through four appearances.
