Detroit — As usual, the Red Wings had no luck at Wednesday’s NHL Draft lottery.
The Wings went into the televised event with the sixth-best odds to land the top pick overall — and ultimately that’s where they’ll be picking, sixth overall, after draws were complete Wednesday in the televised event at the NHL Network headquarters.
The NHL Entry Draft will be held virtually July 23 (first-round) and July 24 (rounds two-through-seven).
Given the odds, the Wings shouldn’t have expected anything much better.
The Wings had a 30% chance of staying at No.
