2022 NHL Draft Lottery primer: Details, odds, top prospects

The 2022 NHL Draft is 58 days away and Tuesday night we will learn the order of the selections, including who will have the No. 1 overall pick, during the draft lottery.

The 2022 NHL Draft Lottery (6:30 p.m. ET: ESPN, ESPN+, Sportsnet, SN NOW, TVA Sports) will determine the first 16 picks of the first round. All 16 teams that did not qualify for the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs or teams that acquired a first-round pick via trade will participate

There are changes for 2022. Teams can move up a maximum of 10 spots, which means only the top 11 teams will be eligible to draft first overall.

Once those are known, the remaining 14 teams will be assigned slots 3 through 16 in inverse order of regular-season points.

** Under the terms of a Nov. 4, 2021 trade, Vegas will transfer its 1st-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft to Buffalo if it is not a top 10 pick.

Kingston Frontenacs center Shane Wright is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick, but there are plenty of other
