Korczak notched two assists and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins.
Korczak has five helpers over his last four games. He's provided decent offense from the blue line while filling a bottom-four role this season. He's up to 10 assists, 15 shots on net, 12 hits, 23 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating across 16 appearances. It's already tied for the second-best campaign of his career -- his best season was last year with Vegas, when he had 16 points in 78 regular-season outings.

Korczak notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Korczak dealt with a lower-body injury earlier in the week, but it didn't cost him a game. He has four helpers over his last six games, with the most recent two coming against the team that traded him away over the summer. The defenseman is still looking for his first goal as a Penguin, but he has eight assists, 15 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 11 hits across 15 contests.

Korczak (lower body) is expected to play against Vegas on Tuesday, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.
Korczak participated in Tuesday's optional morning skate after sitting out Monday's session because of a lower-body injury. He has registered six assists, 14 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 11 hits in 14 appearances this season.

Korczak is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury and won't practice Monday.
Korczak has appeared in each of the Penguins' first 14 games of the regular season, and he's recorded six assists, 20 blocked shots, 11 hits and four PIM while averaging 18:21 of ice time. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Golden Knights, but Ilya Solovyov will be a candidate to enter the lineup if Korczak is sidelined.

Korczak recorded two assists, posted a plus-three rating, placed three shots on net and had two blocked shots in Wednesday's 7-0 Opening Night victory over Philadelphia.
Korczak's debut with Pittsburgh exceeded expectations, as he had an all-around showing highlighted by a pair of helpers. He dished out the secondary assist on Ville Koivunen's goal in the first period before recording his second helper of the game on Filip Hallander's tally in the second. The 25-year-old Korczak was a solid defenseman with Vegas in 2025-26, where he posted three goals, 16 points, 60 shots on net, 102 hits and 95 blocked shots across 78 regular-season outings. If he can post a higher level of offensive production with Pittsburgh, as well as maintain his stats without the puck, Korczak could work his way into fantasy relevance in the 2026-27 campaign.

Korczak was traded to the Penguins from the Golden Knights on Tuesday in exchange for Parker Wotherspoon.
Korczak is three years younger than Wotherspoon but carries a significantly higher cap hit ($3.25 million), especially with the Pens retaining half of Wotherspoon's contract. Perhaps more importantly, the 25-year-old Korczak is a right-handed defenseman, which gives Pittsburgh some cover on that side behind Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang.
