Revision as of 22:15, 8 January 2006 by Gordonfan (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) For other people named Petr Sykora, see Petr Sykora (disambiguation).Petr Sýkora (born November 19, 1976 in Plzeň, Czechoslovakia) is an ice hockey player, currently with the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League.
Sýkora began his NHL career in 1995 with the New Jersey Devils. He won a Stanley Cup with the Devils (2000), and was a game away from winning a second Cup in 2001. Sýkora, along with linemate Patrik Eliáš, developed into one of the game's premier forwards.
Traded to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 2002 for Jeff Friesen and Oleg Tverdovsky, Sýkora was instrumental in carrying the Mighty Ducks to the Stanley Cup Finals the following year, when they lost to the Devils and his former teammates. He scored the game-winning overtime goal in the fourth-longest playoff game in NHL history in 2003.
