Draft & Prospects
NHL Draft Lottery Locks In for May 5
The NHL sets the 2025 Draft Lottery for May 5 at NHL Network's Secaucus studio, with ESPN carrying the live broadcast stateside. Non-playoff teams jockey for position in the two-phase draw that shakes up the top two picks, while lottery rules cap how far any club can leap - only the bottom 11 seeds chase No. 1. San Jose leads the odds at 25.5 percent, but dark horses like Anaheim with their 6.0 percent shot dream of franchise-altering jumps as the regular season winds down.
