Summary
SiriusXM Morning Skate with Scott Laughlin, Gord Stellick & Tyler Madarasz
The Toronto Maple Leafs landed the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft after winning the Draft Lottery. The San Jose Sharks secured the No. 2 pick, while the Vancouver Canucks will select third overall. Despite entering the lottery with just an 8.5 percent chance — the fifth-best odds — Toronto moved up to claim the top spot for the third time in franchise history. The Maple Leafs previously selected Auston Matthews first overall in 2016 and Wendel Clark in 1985. The Colorado Avalanche win 5-2 over the Minnesota Wild in Game 2 of the Western Conference Second Round. Nathan MacKinnon led the way with a goal and two assists, while Martin Necas and Gabriel Landeskog each added a goal and an assist. Scott Wedgewood stopped 29 shots as Colorado, the top seed in the Central Division and Western Conference, extended its series lead to 2-0.
