Tonight, the Nashville Predators will learn their first-round selection spot in the 2020 NHL Draft, and they could be at the very top of the list.
Phase 2 of the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery will determine the No. 1 overall selection of the draft, and the Preds, along with the seven other clubs who were eliminated from playoff contention over the past few days, have an equal, 12.5 percent chance at winning the first pick.
One of the eight ping-pong balls, each one with a different logo of one of the teams in contention, will be selected to determine the victor.
