Adam Oates Charlotte Checkers (ECHL) The 1993–94 Boston Bruins season was the Bruins' 70th season. The season involved Cam Neely scoring 50 goals in 44 games, however, the Bruins had already played 66 games; making this an unofficial record.

The Bruins reached the second round in the Stanley Cup playoffs, beating the Montreal Canadiens before losing to the New Jersey Devils.

Regular season

The Bruins had 2,980 shots on goal during the regular season, second only to the Detroit Red Wings. They tied the Buffalo Sabres and Tampa Bay Lightning for the fewest power-play goals against (58). On Sunday, March 27, 1994, the Bruins scored three short-handed goals in a 6–4 win over the Washington Capitals.

Final standings

Playoffs

In the Conference Quarterfinals 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. 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, implemented the neutral zone trap. 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.

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