The aspect of the Quebec Nordiques season was that the Nordiques qualified for the playoffs for the first time since the 1986-87 season. Also, Joe Sakic became captain (after a stint as co-captain in the 1990-91). Nordiques goaltenders did not record a shutout during the regular season and playoffs. Ironically, Quebec was not shut out in any game during the 84-game regular season and their 6-game playoff series. In addition, Quebec led all teams in shorthanded goals scored during the regular season (21).

Playoffs

Quebec vs. Montreal

Montreal coach Jacques Demers held himself to a promise he made to goaltender Patrick Roy earlier in the season and kept him as the starting goalie despite a couple of weak goals allowed in the first two games of the series against the Nordiques. With the Canadiens staring a potential 3-0 series deficit to the rival Nords in the face, overtime in Game 3 was marked by two disputed goals that were reviewed by the video goal judge. The first review ruled that Stephan Lebeau had knocked the puck in with a high stick, but the second upheld the Habs' winning goal, as it was directed in by the skate of Quebec defenceman Alexei Gusarov, and not that of a Montreal player.
