Below we’ll go over the streaming options for Day 2 of the draft, when Rounds 2-7 will take place in Nashville starting at 11 a.m. ET.

The first round was very interesting from a mock drafting perspective. You’ll be hard-pressed to find an NHL Mock Draft that performed well last night. After Bedard went first to the Blackhawks, it was pretty unpredictable outside the top-5. Leo Carlsson jumped Adam Fantilli to go No. 2 to the Ducks. The Jackets took the Michigan center promptly with the next pick. Will Smith and David Reinbacher went 4-5.
The Coyotes shook things up with defenseman Dmitriy Simashev from Russia. Arizona would also take a Russian wing in Daniil But at No. 12 in the first round. The Blackhawks got a gift at No. 19 with Oliver Moore out of the USNTDP. He’s committed to Minnesota for next season and could form a 1-2 punch down the middle for Chicago in the future. The St. Louis Blues had three picks and did a really nice job with C Dalibor Dvorsky, C Otto Stenberg and D Theo Lindstein. A trio of Euro prospects who should help replenish the roster after this contending window.
