Just about any other player they had in the bubble. Jankowski was much better than Rinaldo. I probably would have went with 7 defensemen, played Kylington to take some minutes away from Forbort 5v5, that also would have allowed you to double shift Gaudreau to see if he could find some offense away from the top defensive players.
I do agree that this is a small gripe, it just adds to the bigger picture of questionable decisions.
