While the 2019 NHL Draft will take place June 21 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, the Draft Lottery takes place Tuesday and will determine the order of the first 15 picks in the first round.
Three teams will be selected in the lottery to draft No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 overall.
The remaining teams, spots No. 4-15, are awarded in inverse order of regular-season points. The results of the lottery and the final draft order will be revealed in an hour-long telecast.
