Had Jagr not been injured, who knew how long it was going to be until Jankowski got the call up.
In my opinion, management made the wrong call from the beginning, Jankowski should've been up with the team from the start with Sam Bennett on wing because not only would we likely have a better record right now, but we would've saved ourselves a lot of whining and complaining about Sam Bennett's struggles and being a bust and etc as he looked like a completely different player yesterday.

I don't think anyone expected Bennett to play anything but centre prior to the start of this season. All summer long everyone projected him top have a good year, at centre. Some people (I among them) thought he'd make a good winger, perhaps on the top line. But all along he's been seen as more valuable at centre.
