The St. Louis Blues will have the No. 29 pick in the first round of the 2018 NHL Draft.

The Blues got that selection after the Winnipeg Jets lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final.

St. Louis acquired the pick from Winnipeg as part of the trade for center Paul Stastny on Feb. 26.

The Blues only have that selection in the first round. They traded their first-round pick (No. 14) to the Philadelphia Flyers as part of the package to acquire forward Brayden Schenn on June 23, 2017.

The 2018 draft is at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The first round is June 22, and rounds 2-7 are June 23.

The first 15 selections were set by the NHL Draft Lottery, which was held April 28. The Buffalo Sabres won the lottery and have the No. 1 pick, followed by the Carolina Hurricanes and the Montreal Canadiens.

Picks 16-27 were set following the completion of the conference semifinals, based on inverse order of the NHL standings.

The losing team in the Eastern Conference Final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals will receive the No. 28 selection. The Lightning lead the best-of-7 series 3-2; Game 6 is at Capital One Arena on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, SN1, TVAS).

If the Capitals win the series, the New York Rangers would get the No. 28 pick. They acquired the Lightning's first-round pick as part of the trade that sent defenseman Ryan McDonagh and forward J.T. Miller to Tampa Bay on Feb. 26.

The Stanley Cup champion will get the No. 31 pick, with the losing team in the Cup Final getting No. 30.

Vegas' pick belongs to the Detroit Red Wings, who acquired it in a trade for forward Tomas Tatar on Feb. 26.
