Don't know if retaining your spot counts, but Chicago moved up from 3rd to first in 2023, and retained their spot this year (so was the second lottery win).
If the retaining your spot at 2nd overall counts, Chicago wouldn't be able to win the lottery....Looks like retaining your spot doesn't count (see below)
"The 2024 NHL Draft Lottery marked the third year for the implementation of a limit on how many times a team can win a lottery draw. No single team can advance in the draft order by reason of winning a Lottery Draw more than two times in any five-year period. This limitation will not affect a club’s ability to retain its presumptive draft position in any Draft Lottery, nor would it preclude the possibility of the club moving down in draft order to the extent other clubs advance by reason of winning the Lottery Draws. For purposes of clarity, the limitation would attach to the team, not the specific pick. An example is outlined here." link
