← 2017
2019 →

The 2018 NHL entry draft was the 56th draft for the National Hockey League. It was held on June 22–23, 2018, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

The 2018 NHL entry draft was the second of two professional sports drafts to be held in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex during the calendar year, as the Dallas Cowboys hosted the 2018 NFL draft in April.

The first three selections were Rasmus Dahlin by the Buffalo Sabres, Andrei Svechnikov by the Carolina Hurricanes, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi by the Montreal Canadiens.

The 2018 draft featured both the first player trained in the United Kingdom to be drafted in Liam Kirk, and the first Jamaican-born player drafted in Jermaine Loewen.

As of 2026, there are 57 active NHL players from this draft.

Eligibility

Ice hockey players that were born between January 1, 1998, and September 15, 2000, were eligible for selection in the 2018 NHL entry draft. Additionally, undrafted, non-North American players born in 1997 were eligible for the draft; and those players who were drafted in the 2016 NHL entry draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1998, were also eligible to re-enter the draft.

Draft lottery

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. The Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes and Montreal Canadiens won the lotteries that took place on April 28, 2018, giving them the first, second and third picks overall. The Buffalo Sabres retained the top pick, while Carolina moved up nine spots and Montreal moved up one spot. In the process, the Ottawa Senators and Arizona Coyotes moved down two spots from second and third overall, respectively, while the Detroit Red Wings, Vancouver Canucks, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders each dropped one spot.
