I sure want to see how Jankowski reacts to being a healthy scratch. It only happened twice last year IIRC.

Plus the Flames are a little different in that their second line is the shut down line, that's usually the third.
That plays into this as well, because I'm guessing Peters is reluctant to use Neal in a shut down role, even if it's possible they carry the play anyway.
