The New York Islanders will get their pick of the 2025 NHL draft. The Islanders jumped nine spots to claim the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft during Monday's draft lottery. The San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks both hold top-five picks for the third straight draft.

The New York Islanders, who missed the playoffs for the second time in four seasons, earned a remarkable lottery win by entering the day with a 3.5% shot — the 10th-best odds — of seeing their numbers come up.

In a stunner, the Islanders moved up nine spots to land the No. 1 pick. The Isles had the second-lowest odds of winning the top pick at 3.5%, but now will kick off the draft for the first time since selecting center John Tavares in 2009. It will be the franchise's fifth time picking first overall.
