TORONTO -- The New Jersey Devils will have the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft after winning the NHL Draft Lottery on Saturday.
The Philadelphia Flyers were awarded the No. 2 pick, and the Dallas Stars have the No. 3 selection. The Devils, who had an 8.5 percent chance of winning the lottery, will be picking No. 1 for the first time.
"This is a great day for our franchise, and to pick first overall, to have that for our Devils fans and our organization, is great news," New Jersey general manager Ray Shero told NBC Sports.
The Colorado Avalanche, who had the best odds to win the lottery, will pick No. 4, the Vancouver Canucks will pick No. 5, and the Vegas Golden Knights will pick No. 6.
The Devils moved up from No. 5; the Flyers moved up from No. 13; the Stars moved up from No. 8.
The NHL Draft will be held at United Center in Chicago on June 23 and 24.
The Devils likely will use the pick to select center Nolan Patrick of Brandon in the Western Hockey League or center Nico Hischier of Halifax in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
"We need help at all positions, and again there are some real good players at the top of the draft," Shero said. "Again, looking forward to it. So, again, it's a nice day."
Patrick (6-foot-2, 198 pounds) is No. 1 in NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters eligible for the draft. The 18-year-old missed 35 games during the regular season with an upper-body injury but had 46 points (20 goals, 26 assists) in 33 games. He could not play in the 2017 WHL postseason because of a lower-body injury.
"Nolan's situation is part of the game, and for NHL clubs, it's a talking point in draft deliberations, and from many recent discussions with NHL personnel, it will have absolutely no negative implications or bearing on Nolan's draft status," said Dan Marr, director of NHL Central Scouting. "He has more than proven over the last three years that he is the real deal and he will be an impact NHL player."
Hischier (6-1, 176), No. 2 in NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters, was 10th in the QMJHL with 86 points (38 goals, 48 assists) in 57 games and was named rookie of the year and best pro prospect.
The 14 NHL teams that did not qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, along with the expansion Golden Knights, participated in the lottery.
For the second straight year, the lottery assigned the top three picks in the first round. Three draws were held: the first drawing determined the No. 1 pick, the second drawing determined No. 2 pick, and the third drawing determined the No. 3 pick.
The order of the first 15 picks in the 2017 draft are as follows. Nos. 16-31 will be set following the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
1. New Jersey Devils
2. Philadelphia Flyers
3. Dallas Stars
4. Colorado Avalanche
5. Vancouver Canucks
6. Vegas Golden Knights
7. Arizona Coyotes
8. Buffalo Sabres
9. Detroit Red Wings
10. Florida Panthers
11. Los Angeles Kings
12. Carolina Hurricanes
13. Winnipeg Jets
14. Tampa Bay Lightning
15. New York Islanders

A U.S. federal court judge in Minneapolis late Wednesday denied an attempt by the NHL to force Boston University to hand over reams of medical data related to its research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), saying that task would be "staggering."
Boston University is home to one of the premier research labs in the world. It has analyzed the brains of nearly 400 research subjects and its findings are projected to play a central role in a high-stakes lawsuit moving forward in Minnesota.
In a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. federal court in Minneapolis, a group of more than 100 former players allege the NHL put profits ahead of their health by turning a blind eye to studies about the dangers of repeated head trauma.
While lawyers for the former players argue the NHL's alleged negligence has heightened their clients' prospects for developing CTE – a degenerative brain disease found in six former NHLers and about 100 ex-NFL players – the NHL has countered by questioning the legitimacy of research into the disease.
On Sept. 1, 2015, the NHL sent a subpoena to Boston University demanding the school produce documents that show which of the 400 study subjects were examined and were not diagnosed with CTE, as well as records identifying all athletes who donated or who had agreed to donate their brains to be examined.
The NHL also wanted the school to hand over any communications that discussed whether there was any variation in CTE diagnoses in the brains of former boxers, football players and athletes from other sports compared with those of hockey players, as well as digitized photos of the microscopy slides of brain tissue samples.
Judge Susan R. Nelson denied the NHL's request in a decision released Wednesday night. Judge Nelson did order the university to produce to the NHL any public statements to the press regarding their research involving NHL donors.
"…The sheer effort in physically locating and preparing the requested information is staggering," Judge Nelson wrote in her 31-page order. "In balancing need versus burden, the tremendous burden to non-party BU outweighs the NHL's need for the requested information."
Nelson wrote that Boston University neuropathologist Dr. Ann McKee had explained to the court that her research centre had about 172,000 photographs of each of the 400 donated brains and spinal cords. Dr. McKee estimated that in order to eliminate or de-identify the autopsy number from each of the images, it would take approximately 13 years' worth of time.
Nelson wrote that it took Boston University's CTE Center three weeks to reproduce the raw data related to Larry Zeidel, one of the five deceased NHL players whose brains have been examined by the centre. The others are Reggie Fleming, Rick Martin, Bob Probert, and Derek Boogaard. Dr. McKee and her colleagues are now examining the brain of a sixth NHL player. Former NHL player Steve Montador has also been diagnosed with CTE by researchers in Toronto.
Nelson noted in her order that earlier Wednesday, a lawyer for Boston University wrote in a letter to the court that the school would voluntarily produce to the NHL all of the digitized copies of slides and photographs related to the former NHL players whose brains were analyzed by the school.

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: April 23
1950: In the first Game 7 of the Final to be decided in overtime, Pete Babando scores at 8:31 of the second overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 4-3 victory against the New York Rangers at Olympia Stadium.
Detroit's Jim McFadden ties the game with 4:03 remaining in the third period, and each team has plenty of chances before Babando beats Rangers goaltender Chuck Rayner for the Cup-winning goal.
"I was playing with Gerry Couture and George Gee, who took the faceoff," Babando told to the Hockey News years later. "Usually George had me stand behind him. But this time, he moved me to the right and told me he was going to pull it that way. I had to take one stride and get it on my backhand. I let the shot go, and it went in."
No other Game 7 in the history of the Final has reached a second overtime.
MORE MOMENTS
1964: Defenseman Bobby Baun scores one of the most famous goals in Stanley Cup Playoff history when he beats Detroit goaltender Terry Sawchuk 1:43 into overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory in Game 6 of the Final at the Olympia. Legend has it that Baun scored the goal with a broken ankle, though he says in 2011 that it was actually a broken leg. Baun is injured blocking a shot by Gordie Howe midway through the third period and starts overtime in the dressing room getting treatment. A few seconds into his first shift of OT, he gets a pass from Bob Pulford and takes what he later calls a "triple-flutter blast with the follow-up" from just inside the blue line that hits the stick of Detroit defenseman Bill Gadsby and floats past Sawchuk for the win.
1985: Michel Goulet scores three goals and Dale Hunter gets the winner at 18:36 of overtime to give the Quebec Nordiques a 7-6 win against the Montreal Canadiens in Game 3 of the Adams Division Final at the Colisee. Goulet scores once in each period, then gets the primary assist on Hunter's game-winner.
1992: Scotty Bowman becomes the NHL's all-time leader in playoff coaching victories when the Pittsburgh Penguins defeat the Washington Capitals 6-4 in Game 3 of the Patrick Division Semifinals at the Civic Arena. It's Bowman's 115th postseason victory, moving him past Al Arbour. Mario Lemieux powers the Penguins with three goals and three assists. He also ties a playoff single-period record with four points, scoring twice and setting up goals by Joe Mullen and Jaromir Jagr in the second.
1997: Wayne Gretzky sets an NHL record with his ninth playoff hat trick when he scores three goals in a span of 6:23 during the second period, powering the New York Rangers to a 3-2 victory against the Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Gretzky ties the game 1-1 by scoring a power-play goal at 3:07 and puts the Rangers ahead 2-1 when he beats John Vanbiesbrouck with a slap shot at 6:46, finishing off a 2-on-1 break. His third goal, which proves to be the game-winner, comes when he takes a low slap shot that goes through a screen and past Vanbiesbrouck at 9:30.
On the same night, Lemieux scores on a breakaway against the Philadelphia Flyers in his last home game before beginning cancer treatment. The Penguins win Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals 4-1 at the Civic Arena but lose the series in five games.
2002: Brent Johnson of the St. Louis Blues becomes the first goaltender in NHL history to earn a shutout in each of his first three career playoff victories. Johnson makes 27 saves in a 1-0 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Pavol Demitra scores the game's only goal at 18:43 of the second period.
2012: The Phoenix Coyotes clinch their first playoff series victory since moving to Arizona in 1996 by defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 at United Center in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Mike Smith makes 39 saves to give the franchise its first series win since 1987, when the then Winnipeg Jets defeat the Calgary Flames in the Smythe Division Semifinals. Game 6 is the only one in the series not decided in overtime.
