Normally occurring after the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, this year the NHL Draft Lottery will be held the night before they begin. Ahead of the best two-week period of the season, 15 teams are given their shot at claiming one of the top three prospects in the 2019 draft class.
One team gets to enjoy both. The Colorado Avalanche have a post-season series to play and not only a shot at first overall, but the best chance of any of the 15 teams holding lottery tickets.
