‘During practice Kulikov played with Jake McCabe while Nick Deslauriers was with Zach Bogosian. Deslauriers used to be a defenseman in the AHL, but Bylsma said he won’t start there during a game, “It would happen in a game for sure if he was playing forward and we get down to three of four defensemen. He has certainly practiced there and that’s his natural position from years ago, so he’s more than comfortable being back there and playing there and would get some consideration. We’ll see.”’
