The NHL is going to make fans wait to find out which teams land the three highest picks in the upcoming draft.

Saturday's lottery will be a little different than previous years, as the top three picks won't be revealed until the second intermission of Game 2 between the San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights, according to Sportsnet.

Picks No. 15 through No. 4 will be announced earlier in the evening, during a pregame show beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET on Sportsnet, NBCSN, CBC, and TVA Sports.

Game 2 is scheduled to begin after 8 p.m. ET.

The Buffalo Sabres have the highest odds (18.5 percent) of securing the first overall pick by virtue of having the league's worst record this season. The Ottawa Senators and Arizona Coyotes finished with the second- and third-worst marks in the NHL, respectively.
