EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers will select 14th overall in the upcoming overall draft following the National Hockey League's draft lottery on Monday night. 

The New York Rangers won the draft and will select first overall.

The team had a 12.5 per cent shot of securing the top pick in the second phase Monday after a placeholder secured the No. 1 slot back in June.

The Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets were the other franchises in the mix for this year's top pick.

The placeholder team - designated as Team E - that won the lottery back in June and set the stage for the Rangers' lottery ball being selected Monday had just a 2.5 per cent shot at the No. 1 pick.

The Los Angeles Kings will choose second, while the Ottawa Senators own the third and fifth selections. The Detroit Red Wings, who had the best singular odds at winning the lottery the first time around, possess the fourth pick.

Selections nine through 15 are based on the regular-season points percentage of the other seven losers in the qualifying round at the time the league's suspended play March 12 because of COVID-19. Minnesota will pick ninth followed by Winnipeg (10th), Nashville (11th) and Florida (12th).

Carolina now owns Toronto's pick - which was part of the Patrick Marleau trade, but top-10 protected - and will choose 13th followed by Edmonton at No. 14. Pittsburgh currently holds the 15th pick, but has seven days to decide whether or not it will keep the selection or give it to Minnesota as part of the Jason Zucker deal at February's trade deadline. If the Penguins hold onto the selection, the Wild will get their first-rounder in 2021.

The next 16 spots in the first round of the draft will go by the reverse order of playoff results.

Alexis Lafreniere, a star winger with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Rimouski Oceanic, is the presumptive No. 1 pick for the 2020 draft tentatively scheduled for Oct. 9 and 10.

New York, which was swept by the Carolina Hurricanes three straight in the best-of-five qualifying round, selected Finnish winner Kaapo Kakko in 2019, and has lots of firepower up front, including Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad.

“Really good news,” Lafreniere said on the television broadcast following the lottery. “The Rangers are an unreal team with really good players (and) a really nice city.”

The NHL was originally scheduled to hold the 2020 draft at the Bell Centre in Montreal, not far from Lafreniere's hometown of St-Eustache, Que.
