As it was a total mismatch with Jones, Westgarth matched it up. Please explain why Westgarth would be taking the faceoff then. Won a bet? Drew a straw? I guarantee (which I actually can't do, but it is good rhetoric) that if it was any other line out there for Vancouver, Jones takes that faceoff.

I would guess that Westgarth took the FO because Hartley wanted his guys to fight.
