They are the same age. They played at the same level.
Are stats lines deceiving?

They are the same age, playing the same level, and apparently have the same playing styles and talent, but... how are the stat lines not deceiving?
When you look at the teams, Michigan both scored and allowed one more goal per game than Providence. Copp is middle-aged player on one of the highest scoring NCAA teams this season, whereas Jankowski is the second youngest player on a low scoring team
Not to mention Michigan's depth:
Six drafted forwards, including Copp, a first rounder and two second rounders
Three drafted dmen, not including potential 2015 top 10 pick, Zach Werenski
One drafted goalie
Compared to Providence's depth:
Two drafted forwards, including Jankowski
Four drafted dmen, including one third rounder
One drafted goalie
If you were to put Jankowski on a young, offensive team with talented linemates, it's not a reach to say that he'd have the same near ppg numbers that Copp has.
Y'all just need some patience (and context)
