While the Stanley Cup playoffs are proceeding according to schedule for the teams who won their way into the playoffs, those that didn’t are still competing, as on Tuesday, May 7, 16 NHL clubs will be involved in the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery to determine the selection order for this year’s draft. By virtue of their lowly 47 points on the season, the San Jose Sharks come into the lottery with the best odds to claim the No. 1 overall selection. You can catch the bounce of every ping-pong ball on ESPN tonight starting at 6:30 p.m. ET. To stream the draft lottery and all of ESPN’s programming, The Streamable recommends a subscription to Sling TV, which you can currently get for 50% off your first month of service.

About 2024 NHL Draft Lottery
The process of determining the NHL draft order is a little more complicated than it appears on the outside. There will only be two lottery drawings, the first for the No. 1 overall selection, and the second for the No. 2 pick. Teams are only able to move up 10 spots to get the No. 1 pick, so that means that only 11 clubs are eligible for the honor.
After the top pick is determined, the team picking second will be determined. From there, picks No. 3 through No. 16 will be assigned using the teams’ regular season standings. The first round of the NHL Draft will take place on June 28, with Rounds 2 through 7 happening the following day on June 29.
Boston University freshman Macklin Celebrini is expected to be the first pick in the draft, regardless of which team ends up in the top spot, despite the fact that he will not turn 18 until next month.
