Jankowski scored a goal during a 4-1 win over the Flames on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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).

Jankowski was called up by Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nashville waived Jankowski on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski was waived by the Sabres on Tuesday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski has frequently served as a healthy scratch lately. He hasn't played since Feb. 25 and has managed just five points in 19 games this season.

Jankowski exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski entered the COVID-19 protocols Sunday, according to Chris Ryndak of the Sabres' official site.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Sabres converted Jankowski's AHL contract to a one-year, $750,000 NHL deal Sunday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski, who's been playing with AHL Rochester this season, will join the Sabres. He's yet to log any NHL action in 2021 after playing 45 games and recording 11 points for the Penguins a year ago.

Jankowski was released from his professional tryout offer with the Devils on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

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.
