The Calgary Flames will be picking ninth overall in the 2024 National Hockey League (NHL) Draft.

The league held its annual draft lottery on Tuesday afternoon to determine the draft order for the 16 teams that did not make the playoffs.

Finishing ninth from the bottom of the league standings, the Flames entered the lottery with a five per cent shot at moving up for the top pick in the draft.

But after the lottery balls settled, the Flames stayed put with the ninth pick.
