Just because a player plays on the opposite side that they shoot from doesn't mean they are playing on their off wing. It's personal preference.
Whenever I play either hockey or soccer I like to play the left side even though I shoot from my right side. I just like the angles better for shooting especially for one timers. I'm sure some NHL players feel the same. Ovechkin is a natural left winger who just happens to shoot right.
