The top 16 picks for the 2022 NHL Draft are now set
The NHL Draft Lottery for the number one overall pick will be held this evening at NHL Network's studio in Secaucus, N.J. The broadcast will begin at 6:30 p.m. EST on ESPN, ESPN+, Sportsnet, SN NOW and TVA Sports.
The lottery will determine the first 16 picks in the draft. Representatives from the lottery teams will join the broadcast remotely rather than in the studio. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly will once again be the one to reveal the team cards.
