The Buffalo Sabres made a couple roster moves on Sunday afternoon. The team announced that it has signed center Mark Jankowski to an NHL contract for the remainder of the 2021-22 season. In a corresponding move, the team also reassigned Arttu Ruotsalainen to the AHL’s Rochester Americans.
Jankowski, 27, had been on an AHL contract with the Amerks up until this point. He’s appeared in 13 games with Rochester and averaged nearly a point per game, with five goals and seven assists.
The Hamilton native was originally a 2012 draft pick of the Calgary Flames (21st overall) and has appeared in 263 NHL games over the years, between Calgary and Pittsburgh.
