The Philadelphia Flyers have won the second overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft after the NHL Draft Lottery was held this evening in Toronto

The Flyers held a 2.4 percent chance of receiving the second overall selection in the draft through the weighted lottery after finishing 19th among all NHL teams this season.

They jumped ahead of 11 other teams with the lottery win and will be "on the clock" after the New Jersey Devils selects first overall on June 23 at Chicago.

This is just the second time in franchise history that the Flyers will have the No. 2 overall pick, previously selecting James van Riemsdyk in the 2007 NHL Draft.
