Jankowski scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski had some impressive scoring numbers to begin his Carolina tenure, but he's cooled off with just two goals over the last nine games. Still, the 30-year-old center has 12 goals this season, his most in a campaign since he potted 14 in 2018-19 with the Flames. He's at 17 points, 64 shots on net, 31 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 57 appearances between the Hurricanes and the Predators. Jankowski looks like a lock to stay on Carolina's fourth line for the playoffs.

Jankowski scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski had been held off the scoresheet in his previous two games, matching his longest dry spell as a Hurricane. He seems to be a real fit for head coach Rod Brind'Amour's system, even though Jankowski is mostly limited to fourth-line duties. The 30-year-old center is up to 11 goals (seven with Carolina), 16 points and a plus-6 rating through 51 appearances between the Hurricanes and the Predators this season.

Jankowski scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jankowski scored a goal in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jankowski scored two goals in Saturday's 5-0 shutout victory against the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jankowski scored two goals in Sunday's 4-2 win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Jankowski scored his fourth goal of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
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.
