San Jose Sharks fans will find out the fate of the NHL Draft Lottery on Monday, but now the NHL has provided more insight.
The league has adjusted how hockey fans can witness the lottery for the 2025 No. 1 pick. For the first time in its 30-year history, the NHL will broadcast a live drawing of the ping pong balls.
The Draft Lottery will occur at NHL Network’s Secaucus, N.J., studio. The drawing will be shown live on ESPN, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports.
The NHL has also provided the combinations for every team. Because the San Jose Sharks finished 32nd in the NHL, they own the highest percentage chance of winning, 18.5%. There are 1,004 combinations randomly split between 11 teams with the potential to win the lottery.
San Jose Sharks fans can preview the 185 combinations that can result in a lottery win for the 2025 No.1 pick here.
The Sharks won the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery after the combination 2-7-10-11 was drawn. San Jose owns that exact combination again as part of their 185 combinations in 2025.
Macklin Celebrini was selected first overall in 2024 and is the Sharks’ next generational talent.
