Well okay, that, and not being aggressive enough. And one game isn't enough to draw conclusions on that.
Everything else was good last night. He's an NHLer.

Don't expect much aggression from Jankowski going forward. He's a thinking man's hockey player, his 6'4" frame is only really used to give him better reach. Positionally, though, you'd be hard pressed to find a better 22 year old.
