While he's holding his own when in the lineup, he's unlikely to see more than bottom-four usage.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
