I don't think he and Janko really go together to be honest. I would rather see Bennett in a top 6 roll whenever it is possible and hopefully not because of injuries to our top 6.
Maybe something like this for a line up:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Tkachuk
Bennett - Lindholm - Neal
Frolik - Backlund - Czarnik
Hathaway - Janko - Ryan
If those top 2 lines aren't producing then you back to the JG-SM-EL, 3M line and SB-MJ-JN and Ryan centering the 4th line.
I think Bennett playing in the top 6 will be a huge boost to this teams offense and difficulty to play against. Having him on a line with Janko and Neal has been ok, I think he can be utilized better though.

If you're gonna roll those top 2 lines as is I'd say your bottom 6 should be:
Frolik-Backlund-Ryan (shutdown, high FO% line)
Dube-Jankowski-Czarnik
