Detroit — The Red Wings didn’t get much luck during the regular season — and it continued into Tuesday’s NHL Draft Lottery.
The Wings had the fourth-best odds of landing the first overall pick — and wound up getting the sixth pick at the June 21 Entry Draft in Vancouver.
The Wings, who finished fourth from the bottom in the NHL overall standings, had a 9.5 percent of getting the first pick.
There are, generally considered, three players who’ve moved ahead of others in this Entry Draft.
Forward Jack Hughes, out of the USA National Development Team Program, forward Kaapo Kakko, out of Finland, and Russian forward Vasili Podkolzin.
