The New York Islanders will pick 13th at the NHL Draft in July.
That was determined at the NHL Draft Lottery on Tuesday night. The Isles entered the night with the 13th best odds of winning the lottery, so their projected position did not change. The Islanders have not had a first-round pick since 2019 (Simon Holmstrom).

The last time the Islanders had the 13th overall pick was in 1987, when they selected Dean Chynoweth. The Islanders also slected Derek King 13th overall in 1985.
This year's NHL Draft will be held in Montreal, with Round 1 occuring on Thursday, July 7, while Rounds 2-7 will take place on Friday, July 8. The Montreal Canadiens will have the first-overall pick, while the New Jersey Devils, who moved up three spots, will pick second.
