Offseason

After reaching the Stanley Cup Finals, the Blackhawks did not stand pat and again made several moves. The biggest move by Mike Keenan was to replace himself as Coach with his hand-picked successor, Darryl Sutter. The other big offseason move was a bad trade of future Hall of Fame goalie Dominik Hašek to the Buffalo Sabres for Stéphane Beauregard (who never played for the Hawks) and a fourth-round 1993 draft choice (which actually turned out to be Éric Dazé).

Regular season

Over the regular season, the Blackhawks led the league in most shutouts for (9), fewest goals against (230) and fewest even-strength goals against (139). They also had the most power-play opportunities (510). Goaltender Ed Belfour led all goaltenders in games (71), shutouts (7) and minutes played (4,106).[1]
