Since the 2012–13 NHL season all teams not qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs have a "weighted" chance at winning the first overall selection. Beginning with the 2014–15 NHL season the NHL changed the weighting system that was used in previous years. Under the new system the odds of winning the draft lottery for the four lowest finishing teams in the league decreased, while the odds for the other non-playoff teams increased. As the league reduced the number of lottery drawings before the 2021–22 season, this resulted in two lotteries being held instead of three and since the 2022 draft lottery, the teams winning one of the two drawings are allowed to move up a maximum of ten spots in the draft order and a team is only allowed to win the lottery by moving up the order twice in a five-year period.
The New York Islanders and Utah Mammoth won the two lotteries that were held on May 5, 2025, giving them the first and fourth picks overall. The Islanders moved up nine spots to receive the first pick, while Utah moved up the maximum of ten spots to secure the fourth pick. San Jose, Chicago, the New York Rangers, Detroit and Columbus each dropped one spot, while Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, Buffalo, Anaheim and Pittsburgh each dropped two spots. This was the first time that the league broadcast the results of the lottery live.
