I think Jankowski is a shoo-in to make the team.

If it was just Bartowki with Stone, or just Jankowski sitting, etc then I wouldn't have any concerns. But it is a full NHL veteran line up without a single PTO or kid on it. And it is a complete return to the coaches comfort lines that didn't work in the bottom 6.
They might just be setting a base line, or it might just be for a practice, it just seems a little suspicious. But we won't know until the roster is set.
The one concern I have immediately is Brouwer with Bennett. The kid just played a knock out game with good line mates. Keep the momentum going rather then returning to what doesn't work. At least until Brouwer earns his way back into the top 9.
But whatever, just a practice. Will see what the line up tomorrow (and beyond) is I guess.
