Korenar has signed a two-year contract with HC Sparta Praha of the Czechia league, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Korenar wasn't expected to be tendered by the Coyotes as a restricted free agent this summer, so this news doesn't come as a surprise. It remains to be seen if the 24-year-old goaltender will try to return to the NHL following his two-year stint with HC Sparta Praha.

Korenar was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Korenar will presumably head to the minors to get increased playing time. He's gone 3-9-2 while posting a 4.48 GAA and an .853 save percentage through 18 AHL appearances this season.

Korenar allowed two goals on 28 shots in relief of Karel Vejmelka in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Korenar has made both of his appearances this season in relief. He played the last 50:18 of the lopsided contest Friday, as the Coyotes' depleted offense, sans Clayton Keller (leg) was unable to get anything going. Korenar shouldn't have to wait long for his first start with the Coyotes -- they visit the Blackhawks on Sunday and the Blues on Monday for their next two games. Korenar has allowed three goals on 35 shots in his two outings.

Korenar allowed a goal on seven shots in relief of Karel Vejmelka in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Korenar didn't face much traffic with the Oilers having full control of the game, but he still allowed a goal to Leon Draisaitl in the third period. The 24-year-old Korenar has yet to really compete with Vejmelka, who started on consecutive nights in this contest. Korenar is likely set for a backup role, though he could also end up with AHL Tucson once Harri Sateri gets up to speed with the Coyotes after he was claimed on waivers.

Korenar was recalled from AHL Tucson on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Korenar will provide depth behind Karel Vejmelka in Arizona's net, as the team has traded away fellow goalie Scott Wedgewood. The Coyotes also claimed Harri Sateri off waivers, so Korenar will likely battle Sateri for the backup spot behind Vejmelka. If Sateri's not ready to suit up Tuesday against the Kraken, Korenar could get a chance to make his Coyotes debut.

Korenar will start against the Kings in Monday's preseason contest.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona acquired Korenar from San Jose this offseason and he'll compete for a backup role before the season begins. He made 10 NHL appearances last season, recording a 3.17 GAA and an .899 save percentage alongside a 3-5-0 record.

Korenar and a 2022 second-round pick were traded by the Sharks to Arizona in exchange for Adin Hill and a 2022 seventh-round pick Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Korenar drew into 10 games with the Sharks in 2020-21, going 3-5-0 while posting a 3.17 GAA and an .899 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder will likely compete for the Coyotes' backup spot during next campaign's training camp.
