NHL Draft Lottery 2021: Date, Odds and Latest Regular-Season Standings

Even though the Stanley Cup Playoffs have already started, the 2020-21 NHL regular season isn't complete. The Vancouver Canucks' COVID-19 outbreak earlier in the year caused a bunch of postponements, so they still have three games to play against the Calgary Flames.

Although those matchups won't have any impact on the 16-team field (which has already been set with the postseason underway), it could affect the Canucks' and/or Flames' odds of landing the No. 1 overall pick during the 2021 NHL draft lottery, which will take place in June but doesn't yet have an official date.
