    t FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 19, 2021 2021 NHL DRAFT LOTTERY SET FOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2 Expansion Seattle Kraken Placed As No. 3 Seed, Matching Vegas' Position for 2017 Draws NEW YORK (May 19, 2021) -- The National Hockey League announced today the 2021 NHL Draft Lottery, used to determine the order of selection for the first 16 picks in the first round of the 2021 NHL Draft, will be held on Wednesday, June 2 at NHL Network’s Secaucus, N.J., studio. The 2021 NHL Draft Lottery will consist of two drawings: the 1st Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting first overall, the 2nd Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting second overall. Participants in the Draft Lottery include the expansion Seattle Kraken, who begin play in the 2021-22 season, and all Clubs that did not qualify for this season's Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Kraken enter the Draft Lottery as the No. 3 seed and owning the exact same lottery odds as the No. 4 seed (the team finishing the regular season with the third-worst regular-season record), mirroring the status of the Vegas Golden Knights entering their inaugural Draft Lottery participation in 2017. The Kraken will be guaranteed no lower than the fifth overall selection. To accommodate the addition of a 16th team in the Draft Lottery, the odds for all other participating teams have been reduced proportionally from the odds utilized in last year's Draft Lottery. The allocation of odds for the 1st Lottery Draw of the 2021 NHL Draft Lottery is as follows: Seed Team Odds 1 Buffalo Sabres 16.6% 2 Anaheim Ducks 12.1% 3 Seattle Kraken * 10.3% 4 New Jersey Devils 10.3% 5 Columbus Blue Jackets 8.5% 6 Detroit Red Wings 7.6% 7 San Jose Sharks 6.7% 8 Los Angeles Kings 5.8% 9 Vancouver Canucks 5.4% 10 Ottawa Senators 4.5% 11 Arizona Coyotes ** 3.1% 12 Chicago Blackhawks 2.7% 13 Calgary Flames 2.2% 14 Philadelphia Flyers 1.8% 15 Dallas Stars 1.4% 16 New York Rangers 1.0% * Seattle Kraken assigned No.
