The Boston Bruins missed out on a higher draft pick in the upcoming lottery sweepstakes due to the Philadelphia Flyers’ loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The Bruins ended with the fifth-worst record, with the Flyers moving ahead to the fourth spot. The Bruins had a chance to secure the fourth-worst record and increase their odds with a regulation loss in their last game against the New Jersey Devils, but they rallied to force overtime and ended up losing 5-4.
In the upcoming draft lottery, the Bruins have an 8.5% chance of landing the first pick and an 8.6% chance of getting the second pick. Most experts believe Erie defenseman Matthew Shaefer will be the top pick, with Saginaw center Michael Misa expected to go second. Other potential top picks include Moncton center Caleb Desnoyers, Boston College center James Hagens, Brampton right wing Porter Martone, and Djurgarden center Anton Frondell. The draft lottery is set to take place in May, with the Bruins having various odds of landing a top pick.
