2018 NHL entry draft
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.
