The order for this year's NHL Draft will be revealed during Monday's NHL Draft Lottery, with 16 teams anxiously awaiting their fate.
The Sharks hold the top odds to land the No. 1 overall pick, at 18.5%. Last year, San Jose won the lottery and used the first overall pick to select Macklin Celebrini.
The Blackhawks (13.5%) and Predators (11.5%) hold the second and third-highest odds, respectively.
This year's draft lottery also features an exciting new twist for fans, too. The drawing of the ping pong balls will be done live in-person from the NHL Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey. Everyone will discover their fate in real-time.
