Went up to Providence on Saturday for the game against Brown and while the game was a bit of a mismatch (7-0 Providence win) I was pretty impressed by Jankowski.
He definitely looks like he's filled out a bit, certainly skinnier than a lot of guys out there but not extremely so, and more importantly it didn't seem that he was lacking for strength at all. He held off defenders and drove the edges numerous times, sometimes just using his reach but often using strength and positioning. He didn't do much work along the boards, I got the sense he would have struggled a bit more there.
The biggest thing I noticed was his patience and vision, the guy is leaps and bounds ahead of where you'd expect a freshman from a relatively low level league to be. He held the puck when he needed to, moved it quickly and accurately when called for and found open ice (both with passes and with his play off the puck). His assist came on a 3 on 1 that he pretty much created with his positioning in the defensive zone (Brown was also pressing hard at that point) and he did a great job of holding the puck before slipping it to the high guy who buried it.
His skating will need work and he will definitely need to be stronger, but for an 18 year old kid who really hadn't faced elite competition until this year I was really impressed.
