The 1993–94 San Jose Sharks season saw the Sharks finish in third place in the Pacific Division with a record of 33 wins, 35 losses, and 16 ties for 82 points, clinching the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Their 33 wins and 82 points that season were more than their win and point total in their first two seasons combined. This was the first season in which the Sharks actually played in San Jose. After playing their first two seasons at the Cow Palace, the Sharks moved into the brand new San Jose Arena.

Offseason

The Sharks selected Viktor Kozlov with their first-round pick, sixth overall.

Newly acquired forward Bob Errey, was named team captain. He replaced the retired Doug Wilson.

Regular season

The Sharks had the fewest shots on goal (2,101) out of all 26 teams during the regular season.[1]
