Loss to Minnesota Wild ensures San Jose Sharks will have a 25.5 percent chance of winning NHL Draft Lottery and selecting Macklin Celebrini
San Jose Sharks’ Henry Thrun takes a shot against Minnesota Wild’s Jesper Wallstedt and Minnesota Wild’s Mason Shaw during the first period at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, April 13, 2024. SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks played their final home game of the season on Saturday — and the result was a familiar one for anybody who has followed the team the last two seasons.
The one positive for the big picture crowd – the Sharks are now locked into 32nd and last place in the NHL’s overall standings, meaning they will have a 25.5% percent chance of winning next month’s NHL draft lottery. “When I watch him, I think of Jonathan Toews a lot. Maybe a little bit more skill. But Toews was an incredible player. I remember watching him at Shattuck when he was 15 and 30 was very similar to what Macklin does. I think the Hobey Baker voters got it right.”
This is only the second time in Sharks franchise history that they’ve finished at the bottom of the NHL standings. The other time was in the organization’s first season in 1991-1992 when the NHL was a 22-team league and San Jose finished 17-58-5 for 39 points, 13 points fewer than the 21st-place Quebec Nordiques.
That kept the Sharks’ fourth line on the ice and allowed Minnesota’s top line to come on. After the Wild won a faceoff, they worked it around before Kaprizov’s shot from the point went off Rutta, the post and off Blackwood before the puck crossed the line for a 4-2 Minnesota lead.
