The Colorado Avalanche have returned home after a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. That means the Avalanche finished with a 22-56-4 record and 48 points, making them last in the NHL by 21 points.
Time was finishing last in the NHL meant you automatically got the first-overall pick in the draft. However, the rules changed to try and prevent teams from tanking in order to secure that pick.
The NHL Draft Lottery will be held Saturday, April 29. While the time hasn’t been release yet, last year the lottery took place at 6:00 pm MDT.
