NHL draft lottery

The NHL draft lottery will be held Tuesday night, and by virtue of their 26th-place finish, the Islanders are one of the five teams eligible to move up and grab the first overall selection, although the likelihood of that happening is only 8.1 percent.

The Rangers are ranked 10th in the weighted lottery. They have a 2.1 percent chance of having their lottery ball picked first. More than likely, they will have the 10th pick in the June entry draft, their highest selection since 2004. Because of the lottery rules, they cannot pick higher than sixth.

No club can move up more than four positions in the order and no club will move down more than one position as a result of the drawing.
