It's overall goal differential.

Jag68Vlady27 said:The 'Hawks play Phoenix (without Doan) today, so I think they have a great chance to win that game. After all, if Phoenix wins, they risk moving out of contention for the first overall pick cuz they'd move ahead of the Rangers, temporarily.
Gee, that Chicago-Phoenix game might be interesting. I wish I could watch it so as to count the number of turnovers that lead to opposition goals. Hey, maybe somebody may even pull a Steve Smith and score on their own goal.
Anything for better draft position, I say!

Handsome B. Wonderful said:Can you honestly say they've given 100% all season?
Not one, or two, or three games, an entire season.
Pittsburgh has worked their asses off in 80 of 81 games thus far. I mean we only gained 22 points on you guys in a 5 week span...

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04094/295700.stmThe team that comes out of the NHL's draft lottery with the No. 1 choice is a virtual lock to grab the rights to Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin, described by some scouts as having the offensive talents of Atlanta LW Ilya Kovalchuk and a greater commitment to playing defense. Kovalchuk said yesterday that he doesn't know Ovechkin --"I met him once, when I was 15" -- but he certainly knows about him. "Everybody says he's a pretty good player," Kovalchuk said. "We'll see. The NHL is a different league." Kovalchuk noted that Ovechkin also could face some significant off-ice adjustments. "[Learning English] was tough, but when you're young, [coming to North America] is easier for you, because you don't have a family, a wife or kids," he said. "If you have good friends or teammates, they're going to help you. That's what happened to me. All the guys really supported me, helped me with everything, and I didn't have any problems."
