The Boston Bruins had absolutely no luck in the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery.
They had the fifth-best odds to win the No. 1 pick, and the worst possible outcome for the B's was dropping two spots to No. 7. That's what happened after the New York Islanders (No. 1 pick) and Utah Hockey Club (No. 4 pick) won the two lottery drawings.
The Bruins actually had a decent chance at winning the draw for the No. 2 pick, even getting as high as 18.5 percent odds with one ping-pong ball left to pull, but their two remaining numbers didn't come up.
