The Wings were consistently strong all season under first-year head coach Dave Lewis, who took over the reins from retired legend Scotty Bowman.

Detroit's only dry spell came during a 5-9-2-1 slide in January and early February.

The Wings' biggest off-season addition, goaltender Curtis Joseph, quietly posted strong numbers between the pipes.

Sergei Fedorov led the club in scoring for the first time since 1995-96 with 83 points. The talented centre was among the NHL leaders in shots on goal and game-winning goals, guiding the Wings' to the most goals scored in the NHL. Fedorov was followed in team scoring by goals leader Brett Hull and perennial Norris Trophy candidate Nicklas Lidstrom.

The Wings were buoyed late in the season by the return of 37-year-old captain and inspirational leader Steve Yzerman. The NHL's longest-serving captain missed most of the season recovering from knee surgery, but is back to help his team defend its championship.

The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim quietly put together the best season in the club's 10-year history. The Ducks set team records with 40 victories and 95 points.

Anaheim's most valuable player patrolled the pipes in 2002-03. Jean-Sebastien Giguere had 34 of the Ducks' 40 wins and posted a 2.30 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and eight shutouts.

Ducks captain Paul Kariya also thrived on a bounty of scoring options up front. Kariya finished with 81 points in 82 games, a 24-point improvement from last season over the same number of contests.

The arrival of Petr Sykora (34 goals), Adam Oates (45 points in 67 games) and the mid-season acquisition of offensive-minded defenceman Sandis Ozolinsh provided the extra scoring punch to help Kariya.

The Ducks also added forwards Rob Niedermayer and Steve Thomas for their playoff run at the March trade deadline. Thomas turned red-hot, scoring 13 points 13 in 12 outings, including three game-winning goals.
