After a very disappointing season this year, tonight the Boston Bruins have the NHL Draft Lottery to look forward too, and it's been revealed where the Bruins will be picking in the first-round of the draft.
For the first time in eight years, the Boston Bruins ended up missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With how terrible of a season it was, Bruins fans haven't had much to look forward too.
That being said, the NHL Draft Lottery is something Bruins fans had to look forward too, and now they know their fate for the NHL draft.
Entering the NHL Draft Lottery, the Bruins had a 0% chance to land the fourth overall pick, and a slim chance at winning the third overall spot.
Here were their official odds for every spot in the top 7:
1st overall: 8.5 percent
2nd overall: 8.6 percent
3rd overall: 0.3 percent
4th overall: 0 percent
5th overall: 24.5 percent
6th overall: 44.0 percent
7th overall: 14.2 percent

The NHL made a surprising change to the NHL Draft Lottery this year. It's the first time in the 30-year history that the draw will be done live from the NHL Network's office in Secaucus, New Jersey.
They made it so the first pick being revealed was going to be the first overall pick, and then everything at that would be revealed in numerical order up until No.16.

The Boston Bruins have officially found out where they will be drafting this year.
It was revealed that the Boston Bruins are going to be drafting 7th overall in this year's NHL Entry Draft as they dropped down 2 spots, from 5th overall to the 7th overall pick.
The #NHLBruins will pick 7th overall in this summer's draft, the lowest pick they possibly could've received.
