The two in our favour were New Jersey beating Nashville in regulation and Dallas over the [Islanders](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-york-islanders?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in overtime. A few I had going to OT had the winners swapped, so atleast the teams we needed to get two points, got one instead of none.

The lottery standings as of this morning:

| Team         | Points | Odds at #1 |
| ------------ | ------ | ---------- |
| Buffalo      | 43     | 20%        |
| Edmonton     | 46     | 13.5%      |
| Arizona      | 47     | 11.5%      |
| Carolina     | 55     | 9.5%       |
| Columbus     | 56     | 8.5%       |
| Toronto      | 57     | 7.5%       |
| New Jersey   | 64     | 6.5%       |
| Colorado     | 65     | 6.0%       |
| Philadelphia | 66     | 5.0%       |
| Dallas       | 66     | 3.5%       |
| Ottawa\*     | 65     | 3.0%       |
| Florida      | 69     | 2.5%       |
| San Jose     | 72     | 2.0%       |
| Los Angeles  | 72     | 1.0%       |

\*Ottawa has 3 games in hand on Dallas & Philadelphia so is ranked lower.

The Leafs win last night, while entertaining from a yay! a win! and a goaltending standpoint, dropped their odds at #1 overall 2%.

There's only 4 games on tap tonight, only 2 have Lottery implications.

**[Pittsburgh Penguins](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/pittsburgh-penguins?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Colorado Avalanche](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/colorado-avalanche?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)** 
**Best Result: Pittsburgh over Colorado in Overtime** 
 They're hosting Pittsburgh and a regulation win puts them at 67 points, dropping them down to a 3.5% chance at #1, but raising Philadelphia and Dallas' odds at winning. The best result would be a Colorado loss in overtime, giving them one point, putting them farther back of Toronto but not giving Ed Snider a better shot at McDavid.

**[Ottawa Senators](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/ottawa-senators?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Winnipeg Jets](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/winnipeg-jets?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)** 
**Best Result: Meteor Strike** 
**Best Lottery Result: Ottawa over Winnipeg in regulation**  
Ottawa has 3 games in hand on Dallas & Philly so they're ranked lower in draft odds, a a win here would put them at 67 points to the others 66\. Winnipeg getting a point wouldn't hurt the Leafs lottery, but the Jets missing out on 2 points puts them closer to missing the playoffs, and that's good.

Also tonight the [Rangers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-york-rangers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) are playing Detroit, and Montreal is in Anaheim. If you're a #NoHabsNo kind of person, you want Anaheim to win to keep Montreal from creating a 3 way tie at 89 points for the Presidents Trophy.
