This is the pivotal point in Jankowski's development, the first real adversity he has faced at the NHL level. I believe that how he handles this will give us a good idea what he is really all about.
It's why I never gave up hope on Bennett. Despite the disappointments, road blocks, and declining stats, Bennett always looked like a player that gave a #### and never sulked. Even when the puck wasn't breaking his way he was and continues to be tenacious.
Janko has really high hockey IQ and a complete set of tools to play up and down the ice. Let's see how he responds in the long term.
