What happened: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has held multiple roles for different coaches in Edmonton as a multi-positional asset. Edmonton is scheduled against Winnipeg with the score at 0-0.
Why it matters: A player who can shift positions lets Babcock adjust lines without a substitution. That option shapes matchup choices against Winnipeg.
What to watch: Watch where Nugent-Hopkins lines up when the scheduled Oilers-Jets game begins.
