Canadiens win NHL Draft Lottery, will own top pick for 1st time since 1980
The Montreal Canadiens are on the clock.
The Canadiens won the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery on Tuesday evening and own the top pick in July 7's NHL Entry Draft.
After entering the draw with the best odds (18.5 per cent) of any franchise, Montreal will hold the first-overall pick for a record sixth time — and the first time since 1980.
More to come.
