The New Jersey Devils didn’t win the NHL Draft Lottery this time.

The New Jersey Devils were up for the number-one overall pick in the NHL Draft on Friday night and the rights to draft winger Alexis Lafreniere. Unfortunately, they actually fell in the draft, and will now go into the draft with the seventh overall pick.

The team that did get the number-one overall pick has yet to be determined. A team that loses in the play-in round will participate in a second lottery, and they will be given the rights to Alexis Lafreniere.
