The Detroit Red Wings are set to select 13th overall in the upcoming 2025 NHL Entry Draft. This follows the results of Monday night’s NHL Draft Lottery.
Before the lottery, the Red Wings had a 5.1% chance of securing the No. 2 overall pick and an 85.7% likelihood of obtaining the No. 12 spot. Due to draft rules, teams can only move up a maximum of ten spots, making only the top eleven teams eligible for the first overall pick.
The New York Islanders won the draw for the top pick, while the San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks will choose second and third, respectively.
Detroit has nine picks in this year’s draft, scheduled to occur at L.A. Live’s Peacock Theater from June 27-28.
