Jankowski is in position to receive the outlet from bennett from the boards. Kulak has to step up to cover the ice Jankowski would normally occupy.
Bennett decides instead of chipping it to Janko, who is where he is supposed to be, that he's going to turn back towards the boards and do...I don't know what with the puck. Tampa D pinches, forces the turnover, Janko caught out of position as the play transitions from low danger to high danger and Kulak/Stone/Brouwer end up no man's land. That's 5 seconds into the period, up by a goal.
Tampa is pressing for a goal. If Bennett makes that outlet to Janko, it's an odd-man break for Calgary. If bennett eats it along the boards, Stone/Kulak/Brouwer have time to adjust positioning.
The '#### me' on the way to bench says it all.
