2019 NHL Draft Lottery: Final rankings
Fifteen games were played on Saturday to end the 2018-19 regular season, with only the Anaheim Ducks not in action. The final rankings for the 2019 NHL Draft Lottery were solidified with the results.
It has been known for a few days that the Ottawa Senators would stand firm on the bottom rung of the ladder. However, the team no longer has its first-round pick to take full advantage of that position. Instead, the Colorado Avalanche will enjoy the benefits of that league-worst performance, having acquired Ottawa’s pick early in the 2017-18 season. Colorado is the only organization to participate in the draft lottery and treat fans to post-season hocket this spring as well.
