Nashville Bolsters Depth, AHL Scoring

The team announced the signing of forward Mark Jankowski to a one-year, two-way deal with a $750,000 cap hit. Jankowski will make $400,000 in the AHL. Jankowski was a first-round pick of the Calgary Flames in 2012 who never quite panned out. Taken with the pick Nashville sent to Buffalo for Paul Gaustad, the 6’4” center has bounced from the Flames to the Penguins to the Sabres after a four-year standout career at Providence College.
