2000–01 Pittsburgh Penguins season

NHL team season March 2026 August 2023 NHL 2000–01 2000 Pittsburgh Penguins 42–28–9–3 24–15–2–0 18–13–7–3 Eastern 6th Atlantic 3rd 281 256 Craig Patrick Ivan Hlinka Jaromir Jagr Martin StrakaBob Boughner Mellon Arena 16,277 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton PenguinsWheeling Nailers Jaromir Jagr (52) Jaromir Jagr (69) Jaromir Jagr (121) Robert Lang (+20) Krzysztof Oliwa (165) Jean-Sebastien Aubin (20) Johan Hedberg (2.64) 1999–2000 2001–02 The 2000–01 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the team's 34th in the National Hockey League (NHL). The team played 82 games under new head coach Ivan Hlinka, who replaced Herb Brooks, who stepped down to remain a scout with the team. The Penguins' .585 points percentage meant that they were the only NHL team from the 1990–91 season to this one that had a points percentage above .500 every season. The last remaining active member of the 2000–01 Pittsburgh Penguins was right wing Jaromir Jagr, who played his final NHL game in the 2017–18 season, although he did not play in the NHL during the 2008–09, 2009–10, and 2010–11 seasons. His career is still going on as a member of the Czech Extraliga's Rytiri Kladno. Offseason Herb Brooks resigned as head coach at the end of the previous season, but remained with the team as a scout. Ivan Hlinka succeeded Brooks as head coach. Former Penguin Joe Mullen became an assistant coach along with his former teammate Randy Hillier. Regular season The Penguins opened the regular season by splitting a two-game series against the Nashville Predators in Japan. On December 9, 2000, it was announced by owner Mario Lemieux that he intended to come back as a player. Lemieux returned to the ice on December 27, 2000, making Lemieux the first ever owner-player in NHL history. Prior to the game, his number 66 banner was lowered from the rafters of the Mellon Arena with son Austin watching. Lemieux scored a goal and set up two others (including one on his first shift) in the Penguins' 5–0 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Prior to Lemieux's return, the Penguins were 15–14–6–1. After his comeback, the Penguins went 27–14–3–2 for a regular season record of 42–28–9–3 and a third-place finish in the Atlantic Division for a playoff spot. Lemieux however did not take back the capaticy when he returned, which Jaromir Jagr held onto for the entire season. The Penguins were shut out only once all year, which was on October 28th against the New Jersey Devils, the team that scored more goals than Pittsburgh during the regular season. Jagr had a stellar year, leading the team in goals (52), assists (69) and points (121). Alexei Kovalev had a career year, finishing with 44 goals and 51 assists for 95 points. Martin Straka finished second on the team in assists (68) and had 27 goals for 95 points, while Robert Lang had 32 goals and 48 assists for 80 points. In the 43 games he played in after he returned, roughly half the season, Lemieux managed 35 goals and 41 assists for 76 points. Final standings PIT PIT Playoffs Eastern Conference Quarterfinals The Penguins opened the playoffs against the Washington Capitals. It was their sixth meeting in the playoffs. The Penguins were shut out in Game 1, 1–0. Lemieux scored a goal and had an assist in Game 2, which was won by the Penguins, 2–1. Newcomer Johan Hedberg shut out the Capitals in Game 3. The Capitals won Game 4 in overtime, 4–3. However, game-winning goals by Lemieux and Martin Straka in Game 5 and 6 won the series for the Penguins, 4–2. Eastern Conference Semifinals The Penguins played the Buffalo Sabres in the conference semi-finals. The Penguins won Game 1 by the score of 3–0 and Game 2 by the score of 3–1. The Sabres won the next three games, pushing the Penguins to elimination. However, overtime-winning goals by Straka and Darius Kasparaitis in Game 6 and 7 won the series for the Penguins. Game 7 was Dominik Hasek's last game as a Sabre; he would sign with the Detroit Red Wings in the off-season. Eastern Conference Finals The Penguins and the New Jersey Devils split the first two games of the series before the Devils took games three, four, and five to eliminate the Penguins.
