Will the Penguins bet on Mark Jankowski pay off?

The coach and general manager has already spoken publicly about initial plans for a lot of the lineup. Training camp is short and won’t be that meaningful in this 56-game shortened season, which is just fine for Pittsburgh. They pretty much have it all figured out anyways.
Barring any issues with injury or illness, we already know it will be Kasperi Kapanen on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel. That leaves an exciting “second” line for Evgeni Malkin to play with Jason Zucker and Bryan Rust.
