Title: 1992-93 NHL season Content: The 1992–93 NHL season was the 76th regular season of the National Hockey League. Each player wore a patch on their jersey throughout the 1992–93 regular season and playoffs to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the Stanley Cup. Twenty-four teams played 84 games each. It proved, at the time, to be the highest-scoring regular season in NHL history, as a total of 7,311 goals were scored. Twenty of the twenty-four teams scored three goals or more per game, and only two teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks, allowed fewer than three goals per game. Only 63 shutouts were recorded during the regular season. The Montreal Canadiens won their league- leading 24th Cup by defeating the Los Angeles Kings four games to one. As of the end of the 2007–08 season, this is the last time that a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup. ==Regular season== ===Final standings=== Note: W = Wins, L = Losses, T = Ties, GF = Goals For, GA = Goals Against, Pts = Points ====Prince of Wales Conference====  ==First games== The following is a list of players of note who played their first NHL game in 1992–93 (listed with their first team): *Bryan Smolinski, Boston Bruins *Matthew Barnaby, Buffalo Sabres *Philippe Boucher, Buffalo Sabres *Michael Nylander, Hartford Whalers *Alexei Zhitnik, Los Angeles Kings *Robert Lang, Los Angeles Kings *Darius Kasparaitis, New York Islanders *Vladimir Malakhov, New York Islanders *Alexei Kovalev, New York Rangers *Sergei Zubov, New York Rangers *Eric Lindros, Philadelphia Flyers *Martin Straka, Pittsburgh Penguins *Sandis Ozolinsh, San Jose Sharks *Roman Hamrlik, Tampa Bay Lightning *Byron Dafoe, Washington Capitals *Teemu Selanne, Winnipeg Jets *Alexei Zhamnov, Winnipeg Jets ==Last games== The following is a list of players of note that played their last game in the NHL in 1992–93 (listed with their last team): *Reggie Lemelin, Boston Bruins *Carey Wilson, Calgary Flames *Brent Ashton, Calgary Flames *John Ogrodnick, Detroit Red Wings *Tim Kerr, Hartford Whalers *Bobby Smith, Minnesota North Stars *Brian Mullen, New York Islanders *Brad Marsh, Ottawa Senators *Laurie Boschman, Ottawa Senators *Brian Hayward, San Jose Sharks *Brian Lawton, San Jose Sharks *Petri Skriko, San Jose Sharks *Doug Wilson, San Jose Sharks *Rick Wamsley, Toronto Maple Leafs *Steve Kasper, Tampa Bay Lightning *Ryan Walter, Vancouver Canucks *Rod Langway, Washington Capitals *Randy Carlyle, Winnipeg Jets ==1993 Trading Deadline== * Trading Deadline: MARCH 22, 1993 *March 22, 1993: Mark Hardy and Ottawa's 5th round choice in 1993 Entry Draft (previously acquired from Ottawa) traded from NY Rangers to Los Angeles for John McIntyre. *March 22, 1993: Jim Hrivnak and future considerations traded from Washington to Winnipeg for Rick Tabaracci. *March 22, 1993: Peter Taglianetti traded from Tampa Bay to Pittsburgh for Pittsburgh's 3rd round choice in 1993 Entry Draft. *March 22, 1993: Steve Konroyd traded from Hartford to Detroit for Detroit's 6th round choice in 1993 Entry Draft. *March 22, 1993: Vancouver's 9th round choice in 1993 Entry Draft traded from Vancouver to Winnipeg for Dan Ratushny. *March 22, 1993: Mike Hartman traded from Tampa Bay to New York Rangers for Randy Gilhen. *March 22, 1993: Murray Craven and Vancouver's 5th round choice in 1993 Entry Draft (previously acquired from Vancouver) traded from Hartford to Vancouver for Robert Kron, Vancouver's 3rd round choice in 1993 Entry Draft and future considerations. *March 22, 1993: Mike Ramsey traded from Buffalo to Pittsburgh for Bob Errey. *March 22, 1993: Craig Muni traded from Edmonton to Chicago for Mike Hudson.
