Predators' Mark Jankowski: Provides game-winning goal
Rotowire
Jankowski netted a goal in Thursday's 5-3 win against Carolina.
Jankowski's marker at 5:06 of the third period was the game-winner. He has four goals and seven points in 21 contests this season. Jankowski entered the contest averaging just 12:05 of ice time, and the 28-year-old is unlikely to make regular offensive contributions unless his role increases.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Notches assist Saturday
Rotowire
Jankowski skated a season-low 9:34 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators but recorded a point for the second consecutive game, assisting on Yakov Trenin's goal in the second period.
Jankowski now has five points in 13 games this season and is unlikely to go on an extended scoring run. The sudden dip in ice time is a bit worrisome given that he's consistently averaged roughly 13 minutes per game this season. There were no reports of an injury following the game, so consider him healthy for the time being.

Jankowski netted a goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory against the Rangers.
Jankowski has two goals and three points in five games this season. He averaged just 12:51 of ice time over his first four contests, but he logged 17:14 Saturday. Jankowski's never been a major offensive contributor, but it would be interesting to see how he does if he keeps getting that much work.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Scores during season debut
Rotowire
Jankowski scored a goal during a 4-1 win over the Flames on Thursday.
Jankowski, who was recalled from Milwaukee of the AHL on Thursday, made a positive first impression. The 2012 first-round draft pick by the Flames opened the scoring Thursday and provided a fourth-line punch. Jankowski scored from the slot off a rebound of Michael McCarron's sharp-angled shot with 29 seconds left in the first period. Jankowski, who had five goals among nine points in seven games with Milwaukee, helped the Predators win for the second time in nine games (2-6-1).

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Summoned by Predators
Rotowire
Jankowski was called up by Nashville on Thursday.
Jankowski has five goals and nine points in seven AHL games this season. His promotion corresponds with the Predators sending down Kiefer Sherwood, who cleared waivers Thursday. Jankowski had 14 goals and 32 points in 79 games with Calgary in 2018-19, but since then he's recorded just 23 points in 120 NHL games. Ultimately his playing time isn't likely to be significant, and that will limit his offensive potential.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Waived Sunday
Rotowire
Nashville waived Jankowski on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.
Jankowski was a scratch for Nashville's first two games of the year and likely won't see much NHL action this season. He tallied 27 points in 32 AHL appearances during the 2021-22 campaign.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Lands in Music City
Rotowire
Jankowski signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators on Thursday.
Jankowski will likely spend some time at AHL Milwaukee during the upcoming campaign, given he's on a two-way deal. He drew into 19 games with the Sabres last year, logging five points, and he added 27 points in 32 contests with AHL Rochester. This will be his fourth organization in as many years, and he's unlikely to see more than a bottom-six role if he makes the Predators' roster.

Rotowire
Jankowski exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Jankowski has made four NHL appearances this season and has produced one assist while averaging 12:50 of ice time. The 27-year-old hasn't averaged that much ice time since his 2018-19 season with Calgary. He will look to reprise his 82-game pace of 21 points starting with San Jose on Thursday.

Sabres' Mark Jankowski: Enters COVID-19 protocols
Rotowire
Jankowski entered the COVID-19 protocols Sunday, according to Chris Ryndak of the Sabres' official site.
Jankowski was not the only Sabres personnel that entered the COVID-19 protocols Sunday, as forward Dylan Cozens and head coach Don Granato were also added to the list. Jankowski only has one assist across four appearances this season, though, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.

Sabres' Mark Jankowski: Pockets first helper with new team
Rotowire
Jankowski recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
Jankowski's first point as a Sabre came on a Mark Pysyk tally in the third period. This was Jankowski's third appearance with the Sabres this season, and he's played in a fourth-line role when in the lineup. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a repeat of his 32-point effort from 79 games with the Flames in 2018-19.

Mark Jankowski: Released from PTO
Rotowire
Jankowski was released from his professional tryout offer with the Devils on Friday.
Jankowski was unable to secure an NHL contract with New Jersey during training camp, but he picked up four goals and 11 points in 45 games with Pittsburgh last season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him land a two-way deal with another organization in the coming days.

Mark Jankowski: Hitting free agency
Rotowire
Jankowski will become a free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from Pittsburgh on Monday.
Jankowski averaged a career-low 10:43 of ice time in 45 games with Pittsburgh last season, tallying 11 points and 35 hits in the process. The 26-year-old flashed some offensive prowess early in his career, racking up 31 goals and 57 points in his first two NHL seasons. However, he's scored just nine goals in 101 games since then. A first-round pick in 2012, Jankowski should still garner some interest as a bottom-six option in the NHL.

Penguins' Mark Jankowski: Another two-point night
Rotowire
Jankowski dished out two helpers in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Rangers.
Both of Jankowski's points came with the game well out of reach, but the fourth-line center notched his second consecutive multi-point performance all the same. He had just two points in the 31 games preceding this hot streak, so don't expect it to last much longer.

Rotowire
Jankowski returned to practice Sunday after clearing the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
Jankowski missed Saturday's game versus the Islanders, but it appears he simply produced a false positive test. The 26-year-old should be back in action for Monday's rematch against the Islanders. He has generated five points and 31 shots on net through 31 games.

Penguins' Mark Jankowski: Game-time call Thursday
Rotowire
Jankowski (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with the Flyers. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "Jankowski is skating with the team right now, and he will be a game-time decision."
If Jankowski does suit up, it figures to be in a fourth-line role alongside Colton Sceviour and Anthony Angello with Josh Currie likely on standby if Jankowski can't play. Considering Jankowski is stuck in a 16-game pointless streak, he is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value even when he is cleared to play.
