A couple of times on the PK I noticed Janko making some questionable decisions (I’m a huge fan of his and think he’s great on the PK)
-He and Lindholm get puck out and on 2 on 2, he enters offensive zone and tries to cut across to middle to create a play. He gets taken all the way to opposite boards and is dispossessed, trapping him and Lindholm. Play transitions up ice and eventually VGK scores 1-0 PP goal.
-Another PK he gets puck in defensive zone and tries to put a pass through a guy’s legs and it gets stuffed. Nothing happened but it was a non ideal risk/benefit assessment by him.
I like that he’s trying to make things happen and I want him to keep that mentality but it’s about picking spots or in first example making sure. Basically experience.
