With the second pick, the Los Angeles Kings selected Sudbury Wolves center Quinton Byfield.

The Ottawa Senators are next on the clock and then the Red Wings will pick fourth.

Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman will participate remotely tonight and tomorrow after being exposed to an individual who tested positive for COVID-19.
