...But look who's taking most D-zone faceoffs, it's Jankowski. The only other guy to get D-zone faceoffs was Noel Acciari (Hockey East defensive player of the year, a guy the Flames had in Dev Camp a few years ago BTW).
I think the coach was simply
sheltering his other lines. For instance #21 Kevin Rooney (15 points in 41 games) seemed to get every O-Zone start possible but not a single in the D-Zone.
