Korchinski's Limited Ice Time Puzzles Blackhawks

Despite being with the Chicago Blackhawks since the Olympics, defenseman Kevin Korchinski has seen limited ice time, dressing for only two of four games, primarily due to another player's illness. Even with Connor Murphy traded, Korchinski was scratched in favor of other defensemen. The team appears to prioritize practice with the NHL club over AHL development, a curious decision for the offensive defenseman whose stock has fallen behind peers like Sam Rinzel and Artyom Levshunov. With Wyatt Kaiser's return and a crowded blue line, a change of scenery might be considered.
