The Project Line indeed.

“Three young players with some good speed and a skillset to help one another,” said coach Glen Gulutzan after seeing the trio skate together Monday before jetting off to Nashville.

“I think it will be an exciting line.”

It certainly has that potential — a word that has been attached to all three for some time.

Now is a golden opportunity for them to reach some of it.

Jankowski is being counted on as the linchpin, coming off a monstrous six-game stint in Stockton where he had five goals and three assists.

It was there he carried over his three-goal in five nights NHL pre-season momentum by anchoring a line with Garnet Hathaway and Andrew Mangiapane that has 13 goals and 53 shots on goal while leading the team to a 4-2 start.

“Janko is going to be coming with a lot of jump and Lazer’s got tons of speed, so it could be a very promising line,” said Bennett, who has no points and five shots on goal in eight games this year and was in need of a shakeup.

“It is always nice to have a little change and maybe spark something offensively for me. Definitely it will be a nice change. I’m excited.”

It’s the right attitude for Bennett to have, especially considering he spent his first year in the league on the left side and had a decent 18-goal season.

Attitude has never been a problem for either of the other two, as Lazar is universally applauded for his sunny disposition and Jankowski has the patience of a saint.

“You have to go down the right way and dominate and so I tried to be the best player on the ice every shift to force their hand into calling me up,” said Jankowski, admitting he was “pissed” at being demoted following camp and is back with the club only because Jaromir Jagr in now on injured reserve with a suspected groin injury.
