After the 2012 NHL Entry Level Draft, nobody quite knew what the future would hold for the Calgary Flames first round draft pick, Mark Jankowski. Nobody quite predicted his first goal would come in 2017, bouncing off his leg, and assisted by Jaromir Jagr. But we’ll get to that.
After taken at the 21st overall pick in 2012, it was somewhat confusing seeing how Jankowski wasn’t projected at being drafted until around the middle of the second round. But Jay Feaster always saw a lot of potential in him – more than anybody had.
After not getting a chance at his first ever NHL game last season, and only playing in one game last season, he and the Flames had to remain patient with him.
