Mark Jankowski scores twice as Hurricanes rout Kraken 5-1
Fantasy hockey: Jankowski's two-goal outing Saturday delivered six times his recent scoring average and offers a streaming opportunity in deeper formats.
By Fantasy Roundup Staff · November 14, 2026 · Updated November 15, 2026
Mark Jankowski scored twice on six shots in 14:35 as the Hurricanes defeated the Kraken 5-1 on Saturday, November 14. The winger finished plus-two in the Carolina victory.
The performance represents a significant spike for a depth forward averaging just 0.31 points and 1.0 shots per night in 11:10 of ice time. With two more games this week (Sat, Thu), Jankowski becomes a streaming consideration in deeper leagues if Carolina keeps him in a scoring role.

Mark Jankowski
Jankowski's two goals and six shots Saturday came against recent averages of 0.31 points, 1.0 shots and 11:10 a night. His 14:35 of ice time represented a notable bump from his usual allotment, and he made the most of it by converting on a season-high shot volume. The winger plays no power-play role (0:15 per game, 15th among all Carolina skaters) and contributes little in hits (0.5 per game) or blocks (0.6 per game).
His underlying play grades 83 out of 100 among forwards, a strong read on how sustainable his scoring is when given minutes. That process score suggests he generates quality chances when on the ice, though his bottom-six deployment limits opportunity. With games on Sat and Thu remaining this week, he offers short-term streaming appeal if his ice time stays elevated, but managers should temper expectations given his typical role.
What to do
• Stream Jankowski in deeper formats for his remaining two games this week if you need goals and shots.
• Monitor whether his ice time stays above 14 minutes in the next game before committing to him.
• Set expectations around his 0.31 points per game baseline rather than Saturday's two-goal spike.
