For the first time, Utah will have some skin in the game when the National Hockey League holds its draft lottery on Tuesday.
SALT LAKE CITY — So if it's the first time you've paid attention to the hockey draft, it's also mine — so I did some research into how it works.
Utah's NHL team gets 75 numbers assigned randomly — that's a 7.5 percent chance of getting the #1 pick. The NHL only gives the 11 teams with the worst records the chance at pick #1. So, the Philadelphia Flyers could pick 2nd at best, and the St. Louis Blues could only move to the 6th pick.
