Looks like #Flames forward Sam Bennett will centre third line. Fourth line looks like Rinaldo-Ryan-Rieder. And Mark Jankowski sits Game 1.

Unfortunately Jankowski is not a good enough player notwithstanding how folks see Him as a penalty killer.
On a game by game view any of the Flames other options for the line-up give the team a better chance for success.
I would not be unhappy given what we have seen as fans if Jankowski never plays another game for the team. I do not hate the guy he just is not a fit or does not still understand how to elevate his play.
If he proves me and others wrong in future and at some point he becomes an impactful player that would be great.
