(Secaucus, NJ) -- The stakes will be sky high during the NHL Draft Lottery on Monday night.
The chance to select Canadian prospect and projected first-overall pick Connor Bedard is on the line for 16 NHL teams that failed to make the Stanley Cup playoffs this season. Bedard led the Western Hockey League with 71 goals and 72 assists in 57 games this past season with the Regina Pats. The Anaheim Ducks have the highest odds to win the number-one pick at 18.5-percent. The Columbus Blue Jackets, Chicago Blackhawks, San Jose Sharks and Montreal Canadiens round out the top five with the best odds.
