So you should compare Knight's 1st year stats to Jankowski's 2nd:
Knight had 13 points in 37 games (6G + 7A), Jankowski had 25 points in 39 games (13 goals and 12 assists).
Knight became a PPG player during his 20, 21, and 22 year old seasons. It will be interesting to see what Jankowski does this year entering his 20 year old season.

Also, they played for two very different teams.
In 2010-11, UND was a high-powered offensive team. UND had five players with at least 40 points that season. Knight was second on the team in total points and fourth on the team in points per game. He was fifth in goals scored.
Providence plays a strong defensive game. Last season, Providence had no players with at least 40 points. Jankowski was third on the team in total points and third in points per game. He was second in goals scored.
Even though his points per game were significantly lower, Jankowski's performance relative to his team was at least even with and arguably slightly better than Knight's was in their sophomore seasons (that's not even accounting for the fact that Jankowski was a year younger as a sophomore).
