Korchinski (personal) could return to the lineup Friday versus Montreal, per Scott Powers of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Korchinski has missed the last six games due to the untimely passing of his father. Korchinski has been practicing this week and coach Luke Richardson said that he will check with his rookie defenseman to see if he is ready to go prior to Friday's contest. Korchinski, who was selected seventh overall in the 2022 Draft, has two goals, five assists, 28 shots on goal and 30 blocked shots in 25 games this season.

Korchinski (personal) won't play Tuesday against Colorado despite taking part in the morning skate, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Korchinski had been away from the team for the past five contests after the passing of his father, Larry. He's still currently on the non-roster list, but it appears as though he could be back in the lineup soon. Korchinski has seven points, 28 shots on goal and 30 blocked shots over 25 contests this campaign.

The Blackhawks placed Korchinski (personal) on the non-roster list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year-old has been during his rookie campaign in 2023-24, picking up two goals and seven points in 25 games. Per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic, Korchinski is away from the team due to a family matter and there is currently no timetable in place for a return. Chicago brought up Isaak Phillips from AHL Rockford on Saturday in a corresponding move.

Korchinski recorded an assist and one shot on goal in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year-old has had a solid year for the Blackhawks thus far. In his past 12 games, Korchinski has four points (two goals and two assists) and 13 shots on goal. His defensive play has been noticeable as he has 10 blocked shots. The youngster has averaged 18:58 of ice time and earned himself a spot on the second power-play unit.

Korchinski notched an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Korchinski has finished with a minus rating in seven of nine contests this season, but he remains on the top defensive pairing. He set up fellow rookie Connor Bedard for a first-minute tally, which was all the Blackhawks could muster Monday. Korchinski has three helpers, nine shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating, but it appears likely he'll remain in the NHL for the 2023-24 campaign.

Korchinski registered a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Korchinski helped out on a Tyler Johnson tally in the second period. The assist was Korchinski's first NHL point, coming in his fourth appearance. He's seen top-four minutes to begin the campaign, and the rookie blueliner has managed 10 blocked shots, four shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in that role.

Korchinski signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Chicago on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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. Last season, with WHL Seattle, the blueliner racked up four goals and 61 assists in 67 contests and could offer top-half fantasy value if he can bring that offensive upside to the professional ranks.
