2000 Stanley Cup Final
The 2000 Stanley Cup Final was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 1999–2000 season, and the culmination of the 2000 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was contested by the Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Devils against the Western Conference champion and defending Stanley Cup champion Dallas Stars. The Devils were led by captain Scott Stevens, head coach Larry Robinson and goaltender Martin Brodeur. The Stars were led by captain Derian Hatcher, head coach Ken Hitchcock and goaltender Ed Belfour.
The Devils defeated the defending champion Stars four games to two to win their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. This was the first of two Stanley Cup Final where two relocated teams faced each other; the other being in 2001.
New Jersey entered the playoffs as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference after finishing the regular season with 103 points. In the playoffs, they first swept the fifth-seeded Florida Panthers. In the second round they defeated the third-seeded Toronto Maple Leafs in six games. In the Eastern Conference finals, the Devils defeated the top-seeded Philadelphia Flyers in seven games (in the process becoming the first team since expansion to come back from a 3-1 deficit later than the second round) to advance to the Final.
Dallas captured the Pacific Division title and entered the playoffs as the second seed in the Western Conference after finishing the regular season with 102 points. In the playoffs, they defeated the seventh-seeded Edmonton Oilers in the first round in five games. In the second round, the Stars defeated the eighth-seeded San Jose Sharks, also in five games. In a rematch of the previous year’s Western Conference finals, the Stars again defeated the Colorado Avalanche in seven games to advance to the Final.
Despite New Jersey being a lower seed in conference play (4) than Dallas (2), New Jersey's 103 points were one more than Dallas, giving them home-ice advantage in the series. The Devils won the Cup in game six on a one-timer goal by Jason Arnott in double overtime. It was their second Stanley Cup overall and first since 1995.
Petr Sykora and Jason Arnott each recorded 4 points for New Jersey in game one, and Ken Daneyko scored his first goal of the playoffs during the second period. Ed Belfour was replaced in the third period by Manny Fernandez after allowing 6 goals on 18 shots. New Jersey would go on to win the game by a score of 7–3, giving them a 1–0 series lead.
In game two, Brett Hull scored twice, including the game winner with four minutes and sixteen seconds remaining in regulation. Ed Belfour made 27 saves to secure a 2–1 for Dallas, tying the series at a game apiece.
After the teams were tied at one goal apiece in the first period of game three, Petr Sykora scored the game-winning goal on a power play in second period, and Martin Brodeur made 22 saves, giving the Devils a 2–1 victory, and a 2–1 series lead.
