Doug Armstrong (Jan.–Apr.) Rick Wilson (Jan.–Apr.) Joe Nieuwendyk (Oct.–Mar.) Sergei Zubov The 2001–02 Dallas Stars season was the Stars' 9th season as the Dallas Stars and the 35th overall of the franchise. It was the Stars' first season playing home games at the American Airlines Center, and they went 18–13–6–4 in their new home stadium. However, they did not follow up their success from the previous year, only picking up 90 points for 36 wins against 28 losses for 4th place in the division and 10th in the Conference. They missed the playoffs for the first time since the 1995–96 season.

Regular season

On December 3, it was announced Bob Gainey would step down as general manager and move into a consultant role at the end of the season and be replaced by assistant general manager Doug Armstrong. With a record of 23–17–6–4 after 50 games, head coach Ken Hitchcock was fired on January 25 and replaced on an interim basis by Rick Wilson. Gainey also decided to transfer general manager duties to Armstrong at that point.

December 26, 2001: In a 2-0 shutout over the Dallas Stars, Patrick Roy became the first goalie to win 500 games in a career.
