Vancouver lost to Minnesota (2:5) in an NHL regular season game. This season, the team under Adam Foote has accumulated 52 points in 75 games.
The club finished last in the overall standings of the NHL regular season. The Canucks will no longer be able to surpass Chicago (68 in 76) in points. Thus, Vancouver will have the maximum chances of winning the draft lottery (25.5%).
Since joining the league in the 1970/71 season, the club has never selected players with the first overall pick.
The last time the team picked in the top 3 was in 1999 (Daniel and Henrik Sedin at numbers 2 and 3 respectively).
The Canucks will finish last in the NHL for the first time in 54 years.
