Kevin Korchinski Fantasy Stats

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Kevin Korchinski has inked a two-year contract extension. He will earn $2.65 million over the next couple of campaigns. Korchinski was a restricted free agent. The Blackhawks have had high hopes for Korchinski, selecting him seventh overall in the 2022 draft. However, he has yet to make a significant mark in the NHL. The 22-year-old has recorded 19 points (six goals, 13 assists) and 109 blocks in 105 career regular-season games. Korchinski saw action in just 13 games for Chicago in 2025-26 and, with the Blackhawks' revamped blue line, looks likely to open 2026-27 as the seventh defenseman.

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Kevin Korchinski (personal) is ready to return to action against the Canadiens on Friday. The young blue-liner has skipped six games after losing his father. Korchinski, who was the seventh pick in the 2022 draft, has earned praise for his all-around effort during his rookie campaign. He's fifth on the team with 30 blocks and has contributed two goals and five assists in 25 games on the offensive end. The Blackhawks backline will also welcome back Jarred Tinordi (concussion), who's been out of commission for seven games.
