The 2000–01 New Jersey Devils season was the 27th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 11, 1974, and 19th season since the franchise relocated from Colorado prior to the 1982–83 NHL season.[1] Although the Devils won the Atlantic Division and were Eastern Conference champions for the third time, the team fell short of winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, losing to the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals series, four games to three.

Regular season

[edit]

The Devils had a scoring finesse unseen since the 1993–94 squad; their 295 goals scored propelled them to the best offensive team in the NHL, as well as the top spot in the Eastern Conference. They had two 40-goal scorers in Patrik Elias and Alexander Mogilny, while Petr Sykora finished with an impressive 35 goals. On October 28 at Pittsburgh, the Devils won in a 9–0 rout that saw John Madden and Randy McKay each score four goals. Martin Brodeur, as in previous seasons, played strongly, finishing with 42 wins, a 2.32 goals against average (GAA) and nine shutouts. Defensively, the team was also strong; their 195 goals allowed were the second-fewest in the East. From February 26 to March 23, the team went on a 13-game winning streak.

Despite having the fewest power-play opportunities of all 30 League teams with 310, the Devils had the best power play percentage at 22.90% (71 for 310).[2]
