Playoffs

In the Conference Quarter-Finals the Bruins met the defending champion Montreal Canadiens led by goalie Patrick Roy. The Bruins finished the season one point ahead of the Canadiens but had a losing 1–2–2 record over the season series between the two teams. The opening round playoff series was back and forth with the Canadiens holding a 3–2 series lead by Game 5. The Bruins rallied and won the last two games of the series in order to advance to the next round.^[6] This was the last time the Bruins reached at least the second round until the 1998–99 season.

In the second round Eastern Conference semifinal series the Bruins were matched with the New Jersey Devils, who under the eventual 93–94 coach of the year winner, Jacques Lemaire,^[7] implemented the neutral zone trap.^[8]^[9] The Bruins jumped ahead to a 2–0 series lead by taking the opening two games. However the Devils rebounded and eliminated the Bruins, winning the next four games straight.^[6]

The Bruins were without forward and leading scorer Cam Neely due to a knee injury.^[10] Their top scorer in the playoffs was center Adam Oates with 12 points (3 goals, 9 assists).
