1999-2000 NHL SEASON

(Redirected from 1999-00 NHL season)
The '1999-2000 NHL season' was the 83rd regular season of the National Hockey League. Twenty-eight teams each played 82 games. A new award, the Roger Crozier Saving Grace Award, was introduced for this season for the goaltender with the best save percentage. The New Jersey Devils defeated the defending champion Dallas Stars for their second Stanley Cup championship. Also, starting in the 1999-2000 season, teams would get one point for an overtime loss in the regular season instead of zero.
This season was also the start of the NHL's partnership with ABC, who would televise a few regional games every season, as well as Games 3-7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. ESPN, who with the ABC deal renewed their contract with the NHL, continued to show regular season and playoff games as well as the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Wayne Gretzky's jersey number was retired league-wide on February 6, 2000.
1999-2000 was the inaugural season for the Atlanta Thrashers.
