The 1993-94 NHL season was the 77th regular season of the National Hockey League. Twenty-six teams each played 84 games. The New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup four games to three over the Vancouver Canucks . It was the Rangers' fourth championship.
This was the first season for two expansion teams, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and the Florida Panthers. The Minnesota North Stars relocated to Dallas, Texas to become the Dallas Stars. It was the first franchise relocation for the NHL since the Colorado Rockies became the New Jersey Devils in 1982-83.
One major change this season drew the ire of some hockey purists: the names of the conferences were changed from Campbell and Wales to Western and Eastern respectively, and the divisions' names from Adams, Patrick, Norris and Smythe to Northeast, Atlantic, Central and Pacific respectively. New league commissioner Gary Bettman, who had previously worked in the National Basketball Association, thought the old names could be confusing to non-traditional fans and believed that a change to geographically-named divisions, as used in the NBA and most other North American professional sports, would be more easily understandable to new fans.
In addition, the playoff format was slightly altered to resemble that of the NBA; where playoffs had previously been bracketed and seeded by division, the playoffs were now broken down only by conference: the division winners were seeded one-two by order of point finish, then the top six remaining teams were seeded three through eight. However, unlike the NBA, the NHL matches the highest seeded winners against the lowest seeded winners in the second round. This was also the first season that all 4 former WHA teams missed the playoffs since joining in 1979
