Jankowski recorded an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski went eight games without a point, and he was scratched twice in that span. The 31-year-old likely won't be in the lineup when the Hurricanes are fully healthy, but he has some time to play now that Seth Jarvis (upper body) is on injured reserve. For the season, Jankowski has five points, 22 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 24 outings as a defensive specialist in a bottom-six role.

Jankowski scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski's first goal of the season put the Hurricanes ahead 2-0 in the second period. The 31-year-old looks to have a path to playing time again while Jesperi Kotkaniemi (ankle) is out of action. In a part-time role this year, Jankowski has put up three points, seven shots on net, six blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-3 rating through 10 outings.

Jankowski notched an assist in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski set up an Alexander Nikishin tally in the third period. This was Jankowski's first point in six appearances this season. The 31-year-old has filled a part-time role so far, but the Hurricanes' numerous injuries have opened the door for him to get fourth-line minutes in the last four contests. He's supplied four shots on net, four blocked shots, two hits and two PIM and should continue to serve primarily as a defensive forward.

Jankowski (undisclosed) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale against Nashville, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski was limited throughout training camp due to his undisclosed injury, but he'll return to action for the Hurricanes' final preseason game. Despite his absence during the preseason, it wouldn't be surprising to see him make the Opening Night roster.

Jankowski (undisclosed) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has been limited throughout training camp this year, and he'll be forced to miss the Hurricanes' penultimate preseason game due to his undisclosed injury. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he should still have an opportunity to make the Opening Night roster.

Jankowski (undisclosed) was working with the non-game group in a regular jersey Friday but won't be in action versus the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski should still be capable of making the Opening Night roster despite his stint on the sidelines during training camp. Even if the 31-year-old center does make the team, he is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside and the fact that he could serve as a healthy scratch periodically.

Jankowski was on the ice for Thursday's practice session wearing a non-contract jersey, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski played in just 19 regular-season games for the Hurricanes last year in which he garnered eight goals and zero assists while averaging 12:16 of ice time. Barring a long-term injury, the 31-year-old center should slot into a bottom-six role for the Canes but may have to settle for being an occasional healthy scratch.

Jankowski (undisclosed) will be available for Game 2 versus Florida on Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski missed the last five games with the injury, as he was hurt in Game 1 versus Washington in the second round of the playoffs. Jankowski has one assist, two hits and three blocked shots across three playoff games. Jesperi Kotkaniemi could be the odd man out of the lineup upon Jankowski's return.

Jankowski (undisclosed) is not expected to be available for Game 1 against Florida on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski will miss his fifth consecutive postseason contest after getting injured in Game 1 against the Capitals in the second round. Jack Roslovic will continue to fill a role at center while Jankowski is sidelined. The 30-year-old Jankowski's next chance to suit up will be Thursday in Game 2.

Jankowski (undisclosed) is unavailable for Game 5 against the Capitals on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be Jankowski's fourth straight game on the shelf. He has an assist, two hits and three blocks across three playoff appearances this year. Jankowski might serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's ready to return, but it's also possible he'll shift to being a healthy scratch.
