Bedard Draft Lottery Odds Finalized
The Anaheim Ducks will have the top odds to land the 2023 first-overall pick.
Anaheim finishes the 2022-23 campaign with a league-worst 58 points following the team’s 5-3 loss against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, giving them the best chance to win the draft lottery.
Here are the final odds for each team:
| TEAM | LOTTERY ODDS |
|---|---|
| Anaheim Ducks | 18.5%* |
| Columbus Blue Jackets | 13.5% |
| Chicago Blackhawks | 11.5% |
| San Jose Sharks | 9.5% |
| Montreal Canadiens | 8.5% |
| Arizona Coyotes | 7.5% |
| Philadelphia Flyers | 6.5% |
| Washington Capitals | 6.0% |
| Detroit Red Wings | 5.0% |
| St. Louis Blues | 3.5% |
| Vancouver Canucks | 3.0% |
| Arizona Coyotes via OTT | 2.5% |
| Buffalo Sabres | 2.0% |
| Pittsburgh Penguins | 1.5% |
| Nashville Predators | 0.5% |
| Calgary Flames | 0.5% |
The Ducks have an 18.5% chance of winning the draft lottery but a 25.5% chance of drafting first overall, as teams can only move up 10 spots with a lottery win. Ottawa, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Nashville, and Calgary can’t pick first overall.
Columbus will have the second-best lottery odds after losing in regulation against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.
The draft lottery will be held Monday, May 8.
