The 1999–2000 New Jersey Devils season was the 26th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 11, 1974, and 18th season since the franchise relocated from Colorado prior to the 1982–83 NHL season.^[1]

After firing head coach Robbie Ftorek on March 23, the team won their second Stanley Cup championship on June 10, 2000, in a double-overtime victory in Game 6 of the 2000 Stanley Cup Finals against the Dallas Stars.

Off-season

The summer of 1999 for the New Jersey Devils leading up to the franchise's 18th season in the NHL since the franchise relocated from Colorado was a difficult one, especially after being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Semifinals to the New York Rangers in five games in 1997, and in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals the previous two years: to the Ottawa Senators in six games in 1998 and to the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games in 1999, the latter coming on Continental Airlines Arena ice. But with the addition of Claude Lemieux, the 1995 Conn Smythe Trophy winner returning to the Devils' uniform, the franchise were poised for another run for the Stanley Cup.

Regular season

The Devils finished the regular season with the fewest power-play opportunities (274), but they finished second-overall in power-play percentage, with 20.07% (55 for 274).^[2]
