Korczak notched an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Oilers.
Korczak has played in the last two games, blocking seven shots in that span. The 22-year-old is filling in on a blue line missing Shea Theodore (upper body) and Alec Martinez (lower body). Korczak is up to five points, 13 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through nine NHL appearances this season. While he's holding his own when in the lineup, he's unlikely to see more than bottom-four usage.

Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Stays warm with helper
Rotowire
Korczak recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
Korczak has gotten on the scoresheet in each of his last three games. 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.

Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Sends assist
Rotowire
Korczak notched a power-play assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Korczak helped out on William Karlsson's tally near the end of the Golden Knights' first power play of the game. Through three appearances, Korczak has picked up three points, four shots on net, seven hits and three blocked shots. The 22-year-old defenseman has held his own on the third pairing during various absences for Alec Martinez, who began the year on injured reserve, and Alex Pietrangelo (upper body), who is set to return to practice Monday. One of Korczak or Brayden Pachal is likely to exit the lineup once Pietrangelo is cleared to return.

Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Two-point effort in win
Rotowire
Korczak scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.
Korczak netted his first NHL tally at 13:03 of the second period. He also set up a William Karlsson marker in the third to force overtime. Korczak has filled in admirably for the injured Alex Pietrangelo (upper body), though the Golden Knights aren't asking too much of the 22-year-old Korczak. Through two contests, Korczak has two points, three shots on net, four hits and a plus-1 rating.

Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Assigned to AHL
Rotowire
Korczak was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Monday, per CapFriendly.
Korczak appears to have missed out on a roster spot to begin the 2023-24 campaign, but the Golden Knights also have just six defensemen on their initial roster. It's unclear if the team will sign winger Max Comtois to a contract before Tuesday's Opening Night game versus the Kraken. Korczak still figures to be a blueliner who will see some action with the big club this year.

Korczak played his second career game Monday versus the Avalanche, earning his first point, an assist. The 21-year-old's reassignment may be a sign that one of Shea Theodore (leg) or Daniil Miromanov (lower body) is an option to play Thursday versus the Penguins.

Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Earns first career assist
Rotowire
Korczak logged an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.
Korczak earned a helper on the first of Nicolas Roy's two second-period tallies. The assist was Korczak's first NHL point, which came in his second game (and season debut). The second-round pick from 2019 has earned just eight points in 30 contests with AHL Henderson, so he shouldn't be expected to have much of a scoring touch while with Vegas. He'll likely remain with the big club until one of the team's injured defensemen is ready to return.
