The 1993–94 Buffalo Sabres season was the Sabres' 24th season in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Offseason

On July 30, head coach John Muckler was named general manager and Gerry Meehan was promoted to executive vice president for sports operations.

Regular season

In the course of the regular season, the Sabres allowed the fewest goals (218) and tied the New York Rangers for most power-play goals with 96. They also tied the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning for the fewest power-play goals allowed (58), had the most shutouts (9) and the best penalty-kill percentage (84.74%)

Season standings

Playoffs

On April 27, 1994, the Sabres played the New Jersey Devils in a classic playoff game when the Sabres outlasted the Devils 1–0 in a quadruple-overtime affair that required 70 saves from Hasek. Martin Brodeur, the Devils goalie went toe to toe with Dominik Hašek. Dave Hannan scored the lone, winning goal.
