2. Finishing the regular season as the fifth seed in the East, the Devils became the lowest playoff seed to ever win the Stanley Cup. That record held until 2012 when the 13th seeded LA Kings beat the Devils in six games to win the Stanley Cup.

3. The final, between the Devils and Red Wings was played in a single time zone. At the time, the Red Wings were the easternmost Western Conference team, with Detroit and New Jersey in the same time zone, despite different NHL conferences.

The 1995 final marked the first time since 1980 that the Stanley Cup Final had been held in a single time zone.

4. The 1995 New Jersey Devils lost only four games all post-season leading up to their Stanley Cup championship.

5. The 1995 Stanley Cup took just 20 games for the Devils to win. They are still one of three team to win the Stanley Cup in the last 25 years to win the championship in only 20 games. The other teams with the same accolades are the 1997 Red Wings and the 2012 L.A. Kings.

6. When the Devils and Red Wings suited up for Game 3 of the 1995 final, it marked the latest calendar game in NHL history. Game 3 was played on June 22, 1995.

8. Martin Brodeur allowed just seven goals in the four games against Detroit in the final.

9. New Jersey went 12-4 blazing their way through the Eastern Conference playoff series.

10. In 16 of the 20 games New Jersey played in the 1995 post season, the team allowed two goals or less 16 times.

11. Incidentally, Fox's play-by-play announcer Doc Emerick was also the Devils regional broadcaster. Regional broadcasters were not calling the games, but because of his affiliation with Fox, he was able to call the Championship series.

12. Before the Devils made their way to Detroit, the Red Wings had been a perfect 8-0 at home during the post season. New Jersey won games 1 and 2 in Detroit.

13. Ken Daneyko is one of only a few New Jersey Devils alumni who won all three championships in franchise history, but only once is his name listed as Ken Daneyko on the Stanley Cup. The 1995 Cup was the only one where 'Ken Daneyko' was engraved on the ring, the other two times he was listed as 'Kenneth S. Daneyko'.

14. It was a memorable post-season for Claude Lemieux. He led the entire league in the post-season with 13 goals in 20 games. He had only six goals in the regular season. Lemieux was also awarded the Conn Smythe as the playoff MVP.

15. Forward John MacLean had just 29 points in 46 regular season games during the 1994-95 season, meanwhile he turned things up a notch in the post-season with 18 points in 20 games.
