Jankowski signed a professional tryout offer with the Devils on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski will hope to secure an NHL deal with New Jersey during training camp. The 27-year-old pivot picked up four goals and 11 points while averaging 10:43 of ice time through 45 games with Pittsburgh last season.

Jankowski will become a free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from Pittsburgh on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski dished out two helpers in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

He potted the only goal of the first period before the game got blown open in the second. Jankowski's last multi-point performance came back in the first game of the season, and the 26-year-old has only three goals and seven points through 34 contests as he fills a checking-line role for the Pens.

Jankowski returned to practice Sunday after clearing the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski won't play in Saturday's game versus the Islanders after being placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's uncertain whether Jankowski tested positive for the virus or simply was a close contact to an infected person. Nevertheless, he'll sit out Saturday, and Drew O'Connor will take his place in the lineup.

Jankowski (upper body) will play in Thursday's game versus the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski will return to the lineup after a three-game layoff. Since recording three points through the first two games of the year, Jankowski has gone pointless over the last 16 contests.

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."

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jankowski (upper body) was on the ice for Wednesday's practice session, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski appears set to return from his three-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue, though he hasn't been officially cleared to suit up against the Flyers on Thursday. If Jankowski is given the green light to play versus Philadelphia, he will likely supplant Josh Currie in a fourth-line role. Considering Jankowski hasn't scored a goal in his last 17 games, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him contributing with any consistency this season.

Jankowski (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus Philadelphia on Tuesday, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski will be on the shelf for his third consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body problem. The 26-year-old center's absence will likely go unnoticed by the bulk of fantasy players considering he is bogged down in a 16-game pointless streak dating back to Jan. 15 versus the Flyers. With Sidney Crosby (COVID-19 protocols) also ruled out Tuesday, the Pens may be forced to elevate Zach Aston-Reese or Colton Sceviour into a top-six role.
