Coyotes fall to 3rd overall at NHL Entry Draft

The NHL Draft Lottery is completed, and the Arizona Coyotes will be drafting . . . 3rd overall. The New Jersey Devils leap-frogged the Coyotes, who now have the third overall pick. Montréal Canadiens will stay at number 1 overall.

This was definitely not an ideal outcome for the Coyotes. Arizona will still get a chance to draft a great player, and we will be talking more about Juraj Slafkovský, Šimon Nemec, Logan Cooley, and Matthew Savoie as the playoffs end but it's tough to fall again in the draft.

The Coyotes have a lot of history with the third overall pick.
