RALEIGH, N.C. - Eric Tulsky, General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has signed forward Mark Jankowski to a two-year contract extension. The deal will pay Jankowski an AAV of $1.85 million through the 2027-28 season.
“Mark has been an excellent fit for our organization throughout his time here,” said Tulsky. “He’s proven he can contribute in different ways, and we are glad he’s chosen to remain with the organization.”
Jankowski, 31, recorded 21 points (11g, 10a) with a +7 plus/minus rating in 68 regular-season games with Carolina in 2025-26. He has also added one assist in eight playoff appearances this season with the team.
