The NHL Draft lottery results will be announced tonight. They’ll disclose the order of picks from 15 to 4 before the Knights-Sharks Game.
Then, they’ll hold announcement of the first three picks until the first intermission. If the Islanders are in that first group, twice, then there’s nothing more to see. (And if they get the 13th and 11th instead of the 12th and 10th, you’ll know an even longer-odds team won the lottery.)
But if the Islanders don’t have two picks in that first group, you know they’ve won a top-three pick.
