The Nashville Predators lost again, this time to Philadelphia, but they improved their NHL draft lottery odds with the result.

Jamie Drysdale scored the tiebreaking goal, Ivan Fedotov stopped 28 shots, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Nashville Predators 2-1 for their third straight win under interim coach Brad Shaw.

The odds-makers believe it’s a possibility. According to FanDuel ( per TSN ), Tocchet is the favorite to become the next Flyers’ coach at +185, ahead of the University of Denver’s David Carle (+210), former Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft (+340) and current interim coach Brad Shaw (+430).
