  The NHL’s draft lottery played out in the way that few NHL seasons ever do: according to the odds.
  That meant the San Jose Sharks would select first, last year’s No. 1 overall pick owners, the Chicago Blackhawks, would be up second and that the Ducks would slot in third.

  This is especially true considering the narrow approval in March of Proposition 1, which pumps another $6.4 billion in bond money into such programs.
  California Auditor Grant Parks in April scorched the state for lacking “current information on the ongoing costs and outcomes of its homelessness programs.” That the state spent $24 billion on such programs from 2018-19 through

Last season he was in a slump in the first half, and he heated up just in time for a season-ending injury. He suffered multiple facial fractures when he was hit by a pitch.
