Slides helper Tuesday Korczak logged an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Korczak was at risk of losing his place in the lineup with the return of Shea Theodore (arm), but Alex Pietrangelo (lower body) was unavailable instead. This will give Korczak a little more time to play late in the season. He has six helpers over his last 14 outings, and he's up to nine assists through 32 games overall. He's added 27 shots on net, 48 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating. Those aren't exactly fantasy-friendly numbers, but the 24-year-old has done fairly well when called upon and could grow into a larger role in 2025-26.

Impact Korczak has four assists over seven contests since stepping into the lineup on a regular basis to cover the absence of Shea Theodore (arm). For the season, Korczak is up to seven helpers, a plus-8 rating, 21 shots on net, 37 hits and 25 blocked shots over 25 appearances. Theodore doesn't have a firm timeline to return, but Korczak has done well enough in his stead that the Golden Knights could have a tough lineup decision to make when the team is fully healthy.

Gathers assist in win Korczak notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Korczak has three helpers over five contests since replacing Shea Theodore (arm) in the lineup after the latter's injury at the 4 Nations Face-Off. There's been no update on a timeline for Theodore beyond the initial week-to-week designation, so Korczak is poised to continue playing on the third pairing. The 24-year-old has six assists, 18 shots on net, 32 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 23 appearances this season.

Playing time opens up Korczak logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Korczak got the nod to join the lineup over Ben Hutton. There's an opening on the Golden Knights' defense for as long as Shea Theodore (arm) is out -- Theodore is considered week-to-week after getting hurt during his time with Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Korczak has done fine when called upon this season, earning four assists, 15 shots on net, 28 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across 19 appearances. Until he shows success over a larger sample, he doesn't need to be rostered in fantasy.

Stuck in reserve role Korczak was scratched for the 20th consecutive game Thursday against the Blues.

Impact The Golden Knights typically don't make changes to their defensive pairings outside of injury situations, which haven't popped up recently. Korczak remains in a wait for his next chance to play while Nicolas Hague and Zach Whitecloud maintain spots on the third pairing. Korczak has three assists, 13 shots on net, 27 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 17 games.

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.

Impact Korczak tallied nine goals in 26 games last season and was a healthy scratch throughout Vegas' postseason run. The 23-year-old posted the same line with AHL Henderson as well, adding nine points in 26 contests. He could split time between the two levels again during the 2024-25 campaign.

Impact Korczak has two helpers over the last three games while filling in as a bottom-four defenseman. His place in the lineup is likely safe until one of Shea Theodore (upper body), Ben Hutton (upper body) or Tobias Bjornfot (undisclosed) can return. Korczak has nine points, 25 shots on net, 31 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 21 appearances this season.

Impact This was Korczak's first point since he was recalled to play Jan. 11 against Boston. He's added six hits, seven shots on net and a plus-2 rating in that span. The 22-year-old sees sheltered bottom-four minutes for the Golden Knights, but he's done fairly well with eight points, a plus-9 rating, 23 shots on net, 28 hits and 24 blocked shots over 19 appearances.
