Based on everything everyone who knows his uncle (scout for the Habs) and grandfather (long time NHL scout) has said, it's the anglicized pronunciation. I haven't heard anyone pronounce it the Polish way.

Considering that Feaster and the team obviously went out of their way to get the spelling and pronunciation of Baertschi correct last year, I'm sure if it was Yanko we'd have heard it.
