As many have mentioned, and it's not too hard to pick up while watching Kovy, he often winds up on the left side of the ice going into the offensive zone when he is playing RW
What pretty much nobody has picked up on is the effectiveness, not on the stat sheet, but positionally of having Kovy play RW and winding up on LW - being that he is the Devils biggest offensive threat, when he is on the ice, the other teams damn well know it and more often than not, other teams tend to send more guys to cover him, leaving one side of the ice more populated than the other
As I show in the picture below (we're red, opposition is blue), Kovy and his line-mates often do just what is in the picture - Kovy comes up on the right and either in the offensive or neutral zone, cuts over to the left side of the ice - their right defender shifts to the right, left defender stays in the middle and the backchecking forward who is covering Kovy on RW in our d-zone stays with him - our LWer stays put into the offensive zone to trail Kovy and his guy stays with him causing 4 of their guys to be covering Kovy and our LWer while 1 guy is there to cover our center covering for Kovy on RW and our right defensemen jumping in the play
This doesn't happen every single time, however this is a main part of the design as to why Kovy is on RW - to cause confusion and traffic around where ever he is leaving other guys open
