Utah won the second random draw of lottery balls to move up from the 14th pick to No. 4, adding to an already momentous summer that could feature a free agent spending spree with tons of salary cap space and an owner not afraid to spend money.

The Islanders were awarded the No. 1 pick via the draft lottery held Monday night at the NHL Network's studio in Secaucus, New Jersey. New York entered with the second-lowest odds of winning the top pick at just 3.5%. The Isles last picked first overall in 2009, when they selected center John Tavares.

Against prevailing odds, the Utah Hockey Club will pick fourth in the 2025 NHL Draft after winning the second lottery drawing on Monday night. A team can move up a maximum of 10 spots. Utah finished with the 14th-best record in the NHL in the 2024-25 season, meaning the fourth overall pick is the best it could hope for.
