Korchinski recorded a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings. - Korchinski set up a Tyler Johnson tally in the third period. The 19-year-old Korchinski faced an uphill battle to make an impact this season, but he was able to stick in the NHL all year.

Korchinski's got a bright future ahead as a two-way defenseman who could be a staple of the Blackhawks' top four for years to come. |

He's scored in consecutive games and has 14 points through 64 appearances, but that comes with an ugly minus-38 rating, 84 shots on net and 67 blocked shots. |

Korchinski scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks. - Korchinski has just two points over 17 games since the start of January, though the scoring slump hasn't cost him a top-four role.

Korchinski has three goals, seven assists, 57 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating through 47 appearances this season, so fantasy managers in redraft formats can likely leave him on the wire. |

Korchinski signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Chicago on Wednesday. - Korchinski -- who was selected by the organization with the seventh overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft -- figures to spend another season playing in juniors, though he could be given the opportunity to join the team at training camp.
