Korczak inked a four-year, $13 million contract extension with Vegas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

While a significant bump in pay, Korczak's extension will still land him as the fifth highest-paid defenseman on the Knights -- though Alez Pietrangelo's (hip) contract will be placed on LTIR. The 24-year-old Korcazk certainly isn't being paid for his offensive upside, having generated 10 points in 40 regular-season tilts last season. Still, if he can force his way into the NHL roster full-time, that pace would have him reaching the 20-point threshold in 2025-26.

Korczak notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Korczak has earned three helpers over his last five outings. The 24-year-old continues to play because Alex Pietrangelo (lower body) is unavailable, though Pietrangelo returned to practice Monday. Korczak has a career-high 10 points, all assists, with 30 shots on net, 53 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 35 contests this season.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Korczak notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Korczak snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. He has five assists over 13 outings since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, and he continues to hold down the last spot on the blue line in the absence of Shea Theodore (arm). Korczak is now at eight assists, 25 shots on net, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 31 appearances this season.

Korczak notched an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Korczak was scratched for the 20th consecutive game Thursday against the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Korczak was scratched for the fourth straight game when he sat out Thursday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Korczak notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-2 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

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.
