1994-95 NHL season

Information about 1994-95 NHL season

The 1994-95 NHL season was the 78th regular season of the National Hockey League. 26 teams each played 48 games, a shortened season, due to a lockout of the players by the owners. The New Jersey Devils won the Stanley Cup in a four-game sweep of the Detroit Red Wings.

League Business

This was the last season in Quebec City for the Quebec Nordiques, as they announced that they would move to Denver after the season and become the Colorado Avalanche.

It was the first season with games televised by Fox, which they would do until the end of the 1998-1999 season. It marked the first major American broadcast agreement for the NHL since 1975. Fox split Stanley Cup Finals games with ESPN.

The regular season was shortened because of a 103 day lockout, which ended on 11 January 1995. The season finally got underway nine days later.

An era comes to an end as the Boston Bruins play their final season at the Boston Garden.

The Chicago Blackhawks open the United Center.

The St. Louis Blues open the Kiel Center now Scottrade Center.

Regular season

The abbreviated season ended much later than usual. For the first and, as of 2007, the only time in NHL history, the Stanley Cup Finals concluded after the Summer Solstice. Despite the late end to the playoffs, only 81 total playoff games were held, the lowest number to date under the "16 wins" playoff format.
