Jankowski scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Jankowski just won't slow down -- he has six goals over seven contests since the Hurricanes acquired him from the Predators. The 30-year-old is finding success even while limited to a fourth-line role -- he was under 10 minutes of ice time in Sunday's game, the fourth time that's happened since the trade even with his good fortune for goal-scoring. Overall, the center has 10 tallies, 15 points, 53 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 48 appearances this season.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Scores late in loss
Rotowire
Jankowski scored a goal in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Jankowski is up to five goals over six outings with the Hurricanes, which has already surpassed the four tallies he had in 41 games with the Predators to begin the season. The 30-year-old is up to a total of 14 points, 52 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 47 appearances. While his recent offense may be tempting for fantasy managers, Jankowski has featured in a bottom-six role since he was traded to Carolina, so the bottom could drop out at any time.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Nets pair of goals
Rotowire
Jankowski scored two goals in Saturday's 5-0 shutout victory against the Flyers.
Jankowski found the back of the net in each of the first and second periods off of feeds from linemate Eric Robinson. Jankowski now has two multi-goal performances in his last four games, and he accomplished that while recording just four shots on goal. He's off to an incredible start with the Hurricanes since being traded from Nashville at the deadline. Jankowski should strengthen Carolina's bottom six for the rest of the season. He is also three points shy of having his best offensive year since 2018-19. Overall, Jankowski has eight goals and 13 points in 45 appearances this season.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Pots two goals Sunday
Rotowire
Jankowski scored two goals in Sunday's 4-2 win over Winnipeg.
The Hurricanes acquired Jankowski near the trade deadline, and there's no question he turned a few heads with this two-goal performance. Jankowski became the third player to score two goals in his Carolina debut, joining Morgan Geekie, who did it in the 2019-20 season, and Brad Defauw, who accomplished this feat back in the 2002-03 campaign. Jankowski is not expected to record goals regularly for Carolina, though, as even with these two tallies, he has only six goals and 11 points across 42 appearances in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Swapped for pick
Rotowire
Jankowski was acquired by Carolina from Nashville on Friday in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Jankowski has four goals, nine points, 15 PIM, 23 hits and 20 blocks in 41 appearances with Nashville in 2024-25. He gives Carolina another veteran option for its bottom six, but it wouldn't be shocking if he is also a healthy scratch on occasion.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Lights lamp in return
Rotowire
Jankowski scored his fourth goal of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
Making his return from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, Jankowski flipped home an empty-netter to cap the big victory. The 30-year-old checking-line forward hadn't tickled twine, or even recorded a point, since Dec. 27, but if he can stay healthy he should have a regular spot in Nashville's bottom six for the rest of the season.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Jankowski scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Jankowski ended a five-game slump with his third-period tally, stretching the Predators' lead to 4-0.

Jankowski is up to seven points, 33 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 27 appearances. He plays in a third-line role and only sees power-play time occasionally, so he's not a great option for most fantasy formats.

Predators' Mark Jankowski: Pots first tally of season

Jankowski scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Toronto.
The veteran forward swept home a rebound late in the third period to bring Nashville within a goal, but the visitors couldn't find an equalizer. Jankowski's bottom-six role doesn't afford him many offensive opportunities, but he's managed to produce three points over six appearances since returning to the lineup following a six-game stint in the press box as a healthy scratch.
