Playing career[]

In July 2017, it was announced that Kořenář had signed an entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks as an undrafted free agent after spending the 2016–17 season with the Lincoln Stars of the USHL.[1] Kořenář spent the next season on loan to the Dukla Jihlava organization of the Czech Extraliga.[2]

On 26 August 2020, Kořenář was assigned by the San Jose Sharks to HC Oceláři Třinec of the Czech Extraliga, on loan until the commencement of the delayed 2020–21 North American season.[3]

After being in net for the San Jose Barracuda and in the taxi squad for the 2020–21 season, he made his NHL debut on 10 April 2021, in a 2–4 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, playing the final period.[4] He was handed his first start four days later, in a 1–4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.[5] His first win came on 26 April 2021, in a 6–4 win over the Arizona Coyotes.[6] After the 2020–21 season, he signed a one-year contract extension.[7]

On 17 July 2021, Korenar was traded by the Sharks along with a second-round draft pick to the Arizona Coyotes for Adin Hill and a seventh-round draft pick.[8]
