The 1999–2000 Carolina Hurricanes season was the franchise's 21st season in the National Hockey League and third as the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes failed to qualify for the playoffs, despite qualifying the previous year.

Offseason

Regular season

The Hurricanes were the least penalized team during the regular season, with only 253 power-play opportunities against them.[1]

Along with the NHL 2000 patch worn league-wide, Carolina wore Two other patches, one that celebrated their first season at the New Raleigh Entertainment and Sports Arena, and the other in memory of Steve Chiasson, who died in a drunk driving crash after the Hurricanes were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
