On Friday night in Buffalo, the 2026 NHL Draft began with the Leafs making the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since 2016, drafting Gavin McKenna.
The Penguins had one first-round pick (No. 22), choosing Liam Ruck. As the draft continues on Saturday, the Penguins have two picks in the second, one in the third and one in the sixth.
But the first night of the draft was not only about picks. There were some major trades, including the Bruins, who traded the No. 23 overall pick and a 2028 first-round pick (top-10 protected) to acquire winger JJ Peterka from the Utah Mammoth. Around the NHL, the New York Rangers acquired Pavel Dorofeyev, and the St. Louis Blues traded for Mason McTavish.
Now, eyes shift to Saturday for Rounds 2 through 7 of the draft, and the frantic pace isn’t expected to slow down. The action resumes Saturday morning as teams look to fill out the remaining six rounds of the draft.
Follow along right here for the full results from the 2026 NHL Draft on Friday and Saturday night.

7:42 p.m.: The New York Rangers join on the trade action with another big move. Per ESPN’s Emily Kaplan., the Rangers acquire Pavel Dorofeyev from the Vegas Golden Knights.
Dorofeyev is coming off a season where he had 37 goals in the regular season and 12 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which was second on Vegas. As a restricted free agent, New York now has his rights.

7:12 p.m.: The deal is being finalized sending Peterka to Boston. ESPN’s Emily Kaplan reports that multiple first round picks are going the other way.
The Utah Mammoth are sending JJ Peterka to the Boston Bruins. Utah’s return is multiple first round picks, sources said.

According to Pierre LeBrun, Boston will send its 2026 first and Florida’s 2028 first (top-10 protected) the other way.
7:00 p.m.: The Bruins are in trade talks, and it’s a big one, with reports saying Boston is in the stages of acquiring J.J. Peterka from the Utah Mammoth.
The #NHLBruins and Utah Mammoth have been engaged in discussions this afternoon on winger JJ Peterka.
One of the proposals Boston had on the table included multiple first-round picks. Utah was mulling options.
This deal isn’t quite done yet.

Peterka is coming off a season where he had 47 points in 82 games and is signed through the 2030 season with a $7.7 million cap hit.
