Conceivably it's easier to scratch Hathaway and czarnik than janko.
I know I/we have remarked previously about this, but I think it is extremely notable that czarnik isn't getting reps.
Janko, Frolik, Hathaway, Andersson have all been seemingly given an opportunity to get back in a game to prove their stuff.
Czarnik is either being held to a much tougher standard, is banged up, or something more substantial is going on behind th scenes to keep him out of the lineup.
It will be interesting to see the minutes and situations he gets when he is next in the lineup.

Different players have different check marks too.
They like Hathaways snarl so as long as he's pissy he seems to stay in. Czarnik hasn't created a lot when he's been in, his underlying numbers are good but he played with Tkachuk and Backlund so that probably doesn't say a lot, and I guess they're aware of that.
Looks like he's in tonight though. Will be interesting to see what he does.
