Steve Thomas
The 1992–93 New York Islanders season was the 21st season in franchise history. This involved the Islanders participating in the Wales Conference Finals. This would be the Islanders last playoff series win until 2016.
Offseason
On August 17, general manager Bill Torrey was fired and replaced by assistant general manager Don Maloney.
Regular season
Four Islanders (Benoit Hogue, Derek King, Steve Thomas and Pierre Turgeon) reached the 30-goal plateau. The team was the least penalized team during the regular season, being shorthanded only 375 times. The Islanders also tied the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals for the fewest short-handed goals allowed during the regular season, with just 8.

Playoffs
Patrick Division Semifinals
Game 6 of this series was marred by a vicious check on the Islanders' leading scorer, Pierre Turgeon, by the Capitals' Dale Hunter, moments after Turgeon scored a third-period goal to put the game and the series out of reach for Washington. Hunter received a 21-game suspension for the hit, which carried over into the 1993–94 season.
Patrick Division Finals
The Isles' improbable upset of the Pittsburgh Penguins was capped off by David Volek's series-winning goal at 5:16 of overtime in Game 7, in an eerie reversal from 1982, when the 8th-seeded Penguins almost eliminated the two-time defending champion Islanders in the first round, as if the dynasty itself rose from the dead to protect its legacy.
Wales Conference Finals
The Montreal Canadiens' win in game three was their eleventh straight, tying the single-playoff record set a year earlier by Pittsburgh and the Chicago Blackhawks.
