The Leafs are holding onto the fourth place spot in the draft lottery. The [Hurricanes](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/carolina-hurricanes?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) lost last night, so they didn't move a bit farther back from the Leafs, but Columbus won, so thats good news.

Here are your lottery teams for games:

**[New Jersey Devils](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-jersey-devils?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Buffalo Sabres](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/buffalo-sabres?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)** 
**Best Result: Buffalo victory**  
Alright, I'm doing a 180\. Go Sabres! Let's let Arizona fall to last.

It's a slow Friday so that's about it. Also on tap tonight:

**[Detroit Red Wings](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/detroit-red-wings?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Tampa Bay Lightning](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/tampa-bay-lightning?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)** 
**Best Result: Detroit over Tampa in OT**  
 I'd take a three point game here in Detroit's favour here, I want Boston/Montreal in the first round if Boston makes the playoffs so need those two to hold onto 2nd/3rd in the Atlantic.

**[Colorado Avalanche](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/colorado-avalanche?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Anaheim Ducks](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/anaheim-ducks?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)** 
**Best Result: Anaheim over Colorado**  
Anaheim has a 3 point lead in the West over the [Predators](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/nashville-predators?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), who have fallen back of the [Blues](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/st-louis-blues?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for the division lead. Need to pad that to protect our second first rounder.

Here's that handy chart:
