EDMONTON, AB - Move over to your left, Evan Bouchard.
That's where the defenceman found himself during Sunday's Oilers practice at Rogers Place.
Bouchard, a right-shot defender who is often positioned on his strong side of the ice, was patrolling the left side of the blueline alongside Ethan Bear.
Head Coach Dave Tippett experimented with the defensive unit during practice drills and a scrimmage. The left side isn't completely foreign to Bouchard, who saw time there during his Ontario Hockey League days with the London Knights.
"He's played some left before in junior, so we just wanted to have a look at him in the scrimmage today and see how things go moving forward," Tippett said.
