John Ferguson Jr. could be getting another shot.

The Boston Bruins executive is among four candidates to become the next general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, according to Sportsnet's John Shannon.

Ferguson has spent the last four seasons as the Bruins' director of player personnel, also doubling as GM of the AHL's Providence Bruins for the past two campaigns.

The Montreal native previously served as GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2003 to 2008, followed by six seasons as the San Jose Sharks' director of pro scouting.

Reports also indicate Buffalo Sabres assistant GM Steve Greeley has had multiple interviews for the position. Greeley is in his first season with the Sabres after a two-year run as the assistant director of player personnel with the New York Rangers.

The Vegas Golden Knights thought they had won Game 2 in overtime.

Jonathan Marchessault got the puck past San Jose's Martin Jones late in the first OT, but upon further review by NHL officials in the situation room located in Toronto, the goal was overturned due to goaltender interference.

Here's a look at the play in question, with Marchessault pegged as the culprit:

Jason Botterill knows he's in line to add a prime talent.

The Buffalo Sabres won Saturday's NHL Draft lottery, and can now select Swedish defenseman Rasmus Dahlin, who's projected to be the consensus top pick.

As a result, Botterill is now the envy of his colleagues.

"He’s a defenseman 31 teams in the NHL want," Botterill said, per the Sabres' Twitter. "(He has) ability to jump up on the rush, create.

"This is exciting," he added. "For the players too, they want to play with other skilled players. This is a good day. It’s a great feeling. It was nerve-racking at the very end. Just very, very happy for our fans."

Botterill, of course, didn't come right out and say he'll call Dahlin's name.

Dahlin recorded seven goals and 13 assists in 41 games for Swedish club Frokunda this season. He also won a silver medal at the World Junior Championship and appeared in two games at the Olympics as a 17-year-old.

The first round of the NHL draft will take place June 22 in Dallas.

The Buffalo Sabres won the NHL Draft lottery Saturday night, securing the first overall pick.

The Carolina Hurricanes and Montreal Canadiens also made jumps up the selection board, and will pick second and third overall, respectively.

The three picks were announced during the second intermission of Game 2 between the Vegas Golden Knights and San Jose Sharks, with the rest of the lottery results decided earlier in the night.

Here's a look at the entire lottery board:

The Sabres had the best chance of securing the top pick after being the first team to finish 31st overall in NHL history. Interestingly, Buffalo is only the eighth last-place team to retain the top pick in the NHL Draft lottery, according to NHL Public Relations.

Montreal moved up one spot, while Carolina made a big jump after finishing 21st overall during the regular season.

The Sabres will almost assuredly select Swedish defenseman Rasmus Dahlin with the first overall pick, adding a blue-chip player to play with franchise center Jack Eichel.

The San Jose Sharks finally got one past Marc-Andre Fleury.

After being shut out by the Vegas Golden Knights' goaltender in Game 1, the Sharks needed until the second period of Game 2 to score on Fleury, courtesy of a howitzer off the stick of Brent Burns that took a couple bounces along the way.

Fleury recorded a shutout in Game 4 of his team's first-round series against Los Angeles, meaning his streak lasted more than seven full periods, as confirmed in typical Vegas Twitter fashion.

What a whale of a time this would've been.

Vancouver general manager Jim Benning said the Canucks wanted to send their mascot, "Fin," to represent them at the NHL Draft Lottery in Toronto on Saturday, but the league said no, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Benning ended up making the trip, and the Canucks fell to seventh overall.

The Ottawa Senators will hold off on giving the Colorado Avalanche their first-round draft pick.

The selection is owed as part of the Matt Duchene trade, but Ottawa had the option of handing over this year's pick or waiting until 2019 to do so.

This decision comes despite the fact Ottawa fell to the fourth overall pick in the NHL Draft Lottery.

The Senators finished 30th overall and therefore seemed lined up to get the second overall pick, or even move up to the one-spot.

Ottawa was leapfrogged by Montreal and Carolina, however, but it's a good enough pick that Dorion will defer until next year, hoping his team will be much improved.

A majority of the NHL Draft Lottery board is set.

Prior to Game 2 between Vegas and San Jose, the NHL revealed the teams that will make selections 4-15.

The order of the remaining three teams - Carolina, Montreal, and Buffalo - will be announced during the second intermission of Saturday night's game.

As a reminder, the Flyers received a first-round pick from St. Louis in the Brayden Schenn trade, while the Islanders got Calgary's pick in the Travis Hamonic deal.

Carolina is the big mover here, finishing 21st overall but leapfrogging into the top three. Montreal made a modest jump as well after finishing 27th.

On the downside, Ottawa and Arizona dropped two spots each, with Vancouver, Chicago, the Rangers, and Edmonton also bumped down one slot apiece.

The NHL Draft will be held June 22-23 in Dallas.

Head coach Guy Boucher will meet with general manager Pierre Dorion Monday to discuss how the club will rebound from a disappointing regular season.

"It’s a conversation for the next step," Dorion said Saturday afternoon on Sportsnet, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia. "We knew we weren’t going to be in the playoffs for a long time, we decided to have an evaluation top-to-bottom of our hockey team."

At the conclusion of the campaign, Dorion did not confirm whether or not Boucher will be back behind the bench come training camp, saying "if" Boucher returns, he'll have to put younger players in the lineup and increase practice time.

Now that the dust has settled, it's time to see where they stand.

"Guy’s a very good coach," Dorion said. "He did a tremendous job last year. Even this year I thought he did a very good job, but at the same time we have to evaluate everyone. We’re going to sit down with Guy. When we had a meeting with the coaches, we probably did a bit more of the talking. This time we’re going to let Guy explain how can we be better moving forward."

One year after advancing to the Eastern Conference finals, the Senators finished 30th in the overall standings.
