Yes he a great game last night and has been better his last 3 games, but on balance this year he has been a nothing burger at best and noticeable for the wrong reasons at the worst.

When this team gets Bennett and Czarnik back, I can't see him deserving to stay in the lineup. He'll likely have to wait for someone (let's say Frolik or Czarnik) to play himself out of the lineup.

So yeah, Janko played well last night, but in my books it looks too little, too late.

Actually think Jankowski has had a good little stretch of games, just rewarded last night.

Sure. But when Bennett & Czarnik come back, I can't see there being room for him in the regular lineup for a bit on merit at least.

Too many guys playing better overall than Janko to have him maintain a regular spot once the roster gets healthy.

I’m sorry but I need a full season of the Coyotes playing well to take them seriously.

Good start for them but it’s a long season

Meh he’s a better PKer than them though. Don’t see them taking him out after a good little stretch.

Yes, but the Flames have 5 other guys they can use as PKers (Backlund, Lindholm, Rieder, Ryan & Frolik) without Janko that are more or less as good as Janko on the PK. That is the very only argument to keep him in the lineup, but despite the fact he's still useful there, I can't see that as reason enough to still keep him in the regular lineup once every forward gets healthy.

Yup looks like Tkachuk is out:

Wes Gilbertson @WesGilbertson
#Flames leading scorer Matthew Tkachuk not on ice for pre-game warmup in Arizona. Was injured last night on a collision with Nikita Zadorov, although later returned to the game.

Hope they put Gaudreau up there. Perfect opportunity for our best player to get going.

Phillips will wear #41 tonight. That's a change from the #47 he has previously worn in camps. Smith's departure obviously freed up #41.

Here's hoping the Flames barely notice with the replacement Matthew in the lineup.

Too bad. Separated shoulder perhaps?

I wonder if Phillips is physically in town / on the ice?

Edit: too slow, looks like he is. Also, didn't Tkachuk snipe his goal last night after the collision?

Brendan Parker is saying Rinaldo is playing tonight, not Phillips.

Makes sense Phillips hasn’t even practiced with the team yet
