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.

Washington vs. New York Islanders

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.
