The 2000-01 NHL season was the 84th regular season of the National Hockey League. Thirty teams each played 82 games. The Stanley Cup winners were the Colorado
Avalanche, who won the best of seven series 4–3 against the New Jersey Devils.
The focus of Colorado's Stanley Cup run was on
star defenceman Raymond Bourque who was on a quest to win his first Stanley Cup championship in his illustrious 22-year career.
On December 27, 2000, Mario
Lemieux, returned from his 3 1/2 year retirement, and, to the joy of many, that night on Hockey Night in Canada Mario registered his first assist 33 seconds into the game versus the
Toronto Maple Leafs. He went on to add a goal and finish with three points,
solidifying his return and bringing a struggling Jaromir Jagr back to his elite status, who
went on to win his fourth straight Art Ross Trophy, just passing Joe Sakic. Despite playing in only 43 games in 2000-2001, Lemieux scored 76 points to finish 26th in scoring,
finishing the season with the highest points-per-game average that season among NHL players. Lemieux was one of the three
finalists for the Hart Memorial Trophy and Lester B. Pearson NHLPA awards.
Two more expansion teams were added this season, both placed in the Western Conference, rounding the league to 30 teams: The
Columbus Blue Jackets and the Minnesota
Wild.
