Canucks lead the field as Capitals eye a slim 0.5% shot in the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery

The NHL announced the 2026 Draft Lottery will be held May 5 in Secaucus with a live ball-drawing format broadcast on ESPN, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports to determine the order of the first 16 picks. Vancouver Canucks hold the best odds at 18.5% to win the top pick, while the Washington Capitals have the joint-worst 0.5% chance to move up 10 spots to sixth. The lottery uses 1,000 combinations and only the top 11 seeds can move up. Gavin McKenna is viewed as the likely No. 1 pick; the 2026 Draft takes place June 26-27 in Buffalo with a decentralized format. A Toronto- Bruins dynamic about a potential pick transfer remains part of the storyline.
