San Jose Sharks would have best chance of winning NHL Draft Lottery and selecting Macklin Celebrini if season ended today
Boston U. forward Macklin Celebrini celebrates his goal as BU takes on NU in mens hockey on Jan. 9. When it comes to winning the NHL Draft Lottery and earning the right to select center Macklin Celebrini, the San Jose Sharks are in the driver’s seat – for now.at the United Center on Sunday kept them in last place in the NHL’s overall standings – now four points back of the 31st-place Blackhawks — with a month left in the regular season.
The draft lottery odds for the team with the second-worst record drop to 13.5 percent, and 11.5 percent for the third-worst team.“Hopefully this summer is a good summer,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said recently. “Hopefully we get a little luck with the lottery and hopefully next year we’re in a place where we can kind of take a step forward after kind of two years of kind of peeling it back a little bit.
Goalie Petr Mrazek made 25 saves against the Sharks – in front of 18,426 roaring fans — and has a decent .900 save percentage since the All-Star break. This isn’t a team that appears to be too worried about falling back into last place in the NHL standings. Don’t be surprised if Chicago catches Anaheim.
