The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled defenseman Kevin Korchinski from the Rockford IceHogs, marking his second NHL stint this month. The 21-year-old, a 2022 No. 7 overall pick, has struggled to secure a full-time role in the NHL, spending most of the season in the AHL with 26 points in 53 games. With veteran Matt Grzelcyk sidelined, Korchinski’s recall aims to provide him with valuable NHL experience as the Blackhawks focus on player development this season. As he approaches restricted free agency, these upcoming games are crucial for Korchinski’s future with the team.
