"The Chicago Blackhawks secured their position as the second-to-last team in the NHL standings, earning them a 13.5% chance of winning the first overall pick."
"This draft is unique as thereâs no clear âfranchise-changingâ player, but four prospects could be picked in any order, making scouting crucial."
The Chicago Blackhawks achieved 57 points in their recent shootout loss against the Winnipeg Jets, ensuring their second-to-last position in the NHL standings. With only two games remaining, they cannot surpass the Nashville Predators' 66 points. Chicago now holds a 13.5% chance of winning the first overall pick in the upcoming draft, which lacks a standout star but includes four highly regarded prospects. This marks the third consecutive year the Blackhawks have had top-three lottery odds, aiming to build their franchise further after selecting Connor Bedard and Artyom Levshunov in preceding drafts.
