The Detroit Red Wings have had no luck in the NHL draft lottery. If they win it this year, they'll still be unlucky. That's because a team that wins the lottery can move up no more than 10 spots based on the standings following a rules change the league began implementing in 2022. The Red Wings finished 18th overall, that's 15th from the bottom. So, they can pick no higher than fifth. But even that's a slim possibility because the Red Wings have only a 0.5 percent chance of winning. The NHL on Friday announced the draft lottery will take place May 7 at the NHL Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey (time TBA, ESPN). The lottery will determine the first 16 picks, involving the teams that failed
