How to watch the 2023 NHL draft lottery without cable
The burning question of which team will get hockey’s next generational talent will finally be answered on Monday, May 8 when the NHL draft lottery is drawn. Connor Bedard, 17-year-old center for the Regina Pats, has been considered the 2023 top pick for several years, and the rights to sign him will go to the winner of the upcoming draft lottery. So while some NHL teams are off working towards winning the 2023 Stanley Cup, the bottom 16 teams in the league are focused on a different win altogether: scoring Bedard (along with other top picks).
With the potential to shape the NHL for years to come, the draft lottery is a big deal. Here’s how you can watch it all go down live this Monday:
