The Tampa Bay Lightning, the losing team in this year’s Stanley Cup Final, will pick 31st and the NHL champion Colorado Avalanche pick 32nd but they traded the pick to the Arizona Coyotes earlier in the year for Darcy Kuemper, who ended up playing a key roll for the Avs in the playoffs. All 16 teams that missed out on the playoffs this year took part in a draft lottery for their first two selections. Following the hometown Canadiens will be the New Jersey Devils, who landed pick No. 2. Rounding out the top-ten is the Arizona Coyotes, Seattle Kraken, Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Ottawa Senators, Detroit Red Wings, Buffalo Sabres and finally, the Anaheim Ducks.
