Charlie McAvoy ready to move on and lead Boston Bruins after "year to forget"
The 2025 NHL Draft Lottery is set for Monday night, and the Bruins will need luck on their side if they want to move up into the top five.
It was a disappointing season for the Bruins, who were 33-39-10 and missed the playoffs for the first time in eight years. The silver lining is that the Bruins have a chance to land somewhere in the top five when the NHL Draft Lottery is held Monday.
Boston Bruins lottery odds
What we already know is the Bruins cannot land the fourth overall pick, and have only a miniscule chance at drafting third. But other than that, there is a chance the Bruins can land one of the top seven picks.
Here is a look at their odds in the lottery, according to Tankathon:
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
When is the NHL Draft Lottery?
This will be the first time in the 30-year history of the NHL Draft Lottery that the drawing will be shown live from the NHL Network offices in Secaucus, New Jersey.
Depending where fans are watching, they can watch it live on ESPN, Sportsnet, or TVA Sports.
When the broadcast starts, the first pick revealed will be the No. 1 pick. After that, the picks will be revealed in numerical order through No. 16.
When is the NHL Draft?
Los Angeles will host the 2025 NHL Draft. It will take place on June 27 and 28 at the Peacock Theater.
If the Florida Panthers win their series against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Brad Marchand plays at least 50% of the games, the Bruins will gain another first round pick in the draft as a result in the deal that sent Marchand to Florida at the trade deadline.
Who is the top NHL prospect?
Matthew Schaefer, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound lefty shot defenseman who plays for Erie of the Ontario Hockey League, is widely projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
Also among the top prospects in the upcoming draft is Boston College center James Hagens.

Oilers-Panthers Game 3 gets out of hand with multiple ejections
The standard rule of NHL playoff hockey is that if the score gets out of hand, the feistiness gets out of hand. The Edmonton Oilers were highly undisciplined as they fell 6-1 to the Florida Panthers in Game 3. Then the third period predictably turned into a series of scrums and misconducts. Advertisement It started at 10:29 with the Oilers trailing 5-1. Edmonton's Trent Frederic tried to punch Florida's Sam Bennett and missed. He then cross-checked Bennett several times, breaking his stick on his final effort. That led all of the skaters on the ice to square off. The scrum turned into a prolonged fight between Edmonton defenseman Darnell Nurse and Florida forward Jonah Gadjovich. Five players were thrown out of the game. Frederic received 14 minutes in the scrum, Bennett 12 minutes, Nurse 17 minutes and Gadjovich 15 minutes. Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm also received a 10-minute misconduct. "I don't think we would have acted or played like that had it been a one-goal or two-goal game," Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. "Boys being boys, I guess trying to make investments for the next game." Advertisement The Oilers' misconducts continued with Evander Kane leaving the game after slashing Carter Verhaeghe, and Kasperi Kapanen was ejected for cross-checking Eetu Luostarinen. All told, there were 122 penalty minutes handed out in the third period, 75 of them to the Oilers. "The game obviously got out of hand at the end there," Kane told reporters after the game. "That stuff's going to happen. You look at some of the calls and whatnot, some of them are frustrating. They seem to get away with it more than we do." The Panthers received 11 power plays in the game and scored three power-play goals after entering the game with a 3.6% success rate in home playoff games. Advertisement "We talk about being composed," Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk told TNT. "You've got to take a punch in the face, you've got to take a slash in the face, a cross-check, a slash in the leg. Whatever the case is, you've got to do it. There's a bigger picture with the win for us." Oilers' Jake Walman receives two fines The only disciplinary actions resulting from Game 3 involved Oilers defenseman Jake Walman, who was fined twice. He was fined the maximum allowed $5,000 for roughing Tkachuk, who was tied up by Edmonton's John Klingberg. Walman received another $5,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct after spraying his water bottle toward the Panthers' bench. Kris Knoblauch on Game 3 officiating The Oilers coach answered carefully when asked about the officiating during the game, noting the Edmonton penalty for too many men on the ice. Advertisement "It was too many men. They caught us there," he said. "I just wished they had called it (against the Panthers) in Game 2 in overtime." Stanley Cup Final notes Even though Knoblauch pulled Stuart Skinner, he said he doesn't have to make a decision on who to play in Game 4. "Stu, I don't think had much chance on many of those goals," he said. … Before Bennett was ejected, he had a massive shift where he delivered two big hits and then scored on a 2-on-0 breakaway. … The Game 3 win gave Panthers coach Paul Maurice 1,000 combined regular-season and playoff victories.
