Mark Jankowski Listed Questionable for Game 2 vs. Capitals

Carolina Hurricanes center Mark Jankowski sustained an undisclosed injury during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference second-round series against the Washington Capitals and was unable to return after leaving in the second period. Jankowski, who has played three postseason games this year, recorded one assist and four shots but now faces uncertainty regarding his availability for upcoming games. If he is unable to play in Game 2, either Jack Roslovic or Tyson Jost is expected to fill his spot in the lineup. Jankowski was acquired by the Hurricanes from Nashville before the trade deadline and contributed eight goals in 19 regular-season games for Carolina. His status will be a game-time decision as the Hurricanes prepare for the next matchup against Washington.
