The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim entered their first Stanley Cup Final in franchise history after upsetting two heavily favored teams: sweeping the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Detroit Red Wings, defeating the Dallas Stars in six games, plus sweeping the upstart Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference Finals thanks to the stellar goaltending of Jean-Sebastian Giguere, only allowing one goal during the entire series. Backing up Giguere were players such as Paul Kariya, Petr Sykora, Adam Oates, plus Rob Niedermayer, brother of then-Devils star defenseman Scott Niedermayer. This series was memorable for two brothers on different teams competing for the same prize. The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California, USA.

The series opened with two games in New Jersey. In both games, Martin Brodeur kept the Ducks off the score board while the Devils players continually dominated the Ducks. Both Games 1 and 2 ended with New Jersey shutting out Anaheim, 3-0. When the series moved to Anaheim, Games 3 and 4 were must win situations for the Ducks. Game 3 was remembered for the clumsy mistake from Martin Brodeur when he accidentally dropped his stick when the puck came to him, the puck deflected off his fallen stick and into the net to give the Ducks a lucky break and a 2-1 lead. The Devils would later tie the game, but lose in overtime. Over the mistake with his stick, Brodeur later claimed, "It was just one of those once in a lifetime things." Game 4 was kept to no scoring throughout regulation and was a battle between goaltenders Brodeur and Giguere. But Anaheim again came out on top in overtime, winning 1-0 and tying the series. Game 5 at the Meadowlands saw a continual battle for the first half the game. With the game tied 3-3 in the second period, the Devils took the lead with a deflection goal by Brian Gionta that was initially waved off by referees due to a kicking motion dispute with the skates, but replays showed there was no distinct kicking motion from the skates, thus the goal counted. This would prove to deflate the Ducks for the rest of the game, as Jamie Langenbrunner scored two more goals for the Devils to give New Jersey a 6-3 win for Game 5 and the 3-2 series lead.

With New Jersey overconfident and eying to clinch the series, Game 6 at Anaheim saw the Mighty Ducks return the favor of Game 5 to the Devils with complete dominance throughout the game. Quite possibly the most remembered moment of the entire series came when the Ducks were winning 3-1 in the second period. Ducks captain Paul Kariya didn't see Scott Stevens coming after he passed the puck and was leveled by the Devils captain in a hit similar to the check that knocked out Eric Lindros during the 2000 playoffs and caused Lindros to miss the next season. The opinions on the hit were mixed as some considered it late and dirty, but the referees ruled it a legal hit. Kariya was lying motionless for a few minutes, then was escorted to the locker room. Kariya unexpectedly returned to the bench minutes later, and about eleven minutes after the hit, fired a slap shot that found the back of the net. The crowd at the Honda Center erupted, and as the ABC broadcasters said, "Off the floor and on the board!" This helped the Ducks win Game 6 5-2 and now put the Ducks within one game of clinching.

Game 7 on New Jersey home ice saw the Devils once more completely dominate the Ducks. The Ducks offense was silent the entire game and could not score while Jeff Friesen seemed to dominate his former teammates with two goals. The 3-0 win gave the Devils their third Stanley Cup victory as Anaheim could not complete their Cinderella run. However, the Mighty Ducks wouldn't leave empty handed; for his stellar play throughout the playoffs and finals, Jean-Sebastian Giguere for the Ducks was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs. He became only the fifth player, and fourth goaltender, in NHL history to have won the trophy as a member of the losing team.
