The NHL will hold Phase One of the 2020 Draft Lottery tomorrow night at 8p ET. While the lottery has been pretty uniform and easy to understand in the past, these abnormal times have called for a unique way to handle the picking of presumed first overall pick, Alexis Lafreniere.
The draft lottery will determine the first 15 picks in the 2020 NHL Draft based on 3-6 drawings over one or two phases. It will include the seven teams that did not make the Stanley Cup Qualifiers, plus eight teams that are eliminated in the qualifiers.
