Ice hockey team season
The 1993–94 Washington Capitals season was the Capitals' 20th season of play.
Until 2018 , this season was notable as the only time the Washington Capitals ever defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in a playoff series , as the Capitals would lose to the Penguins in 1995 , 1996 , 2000 , 2001 , 2009 , 2016 , and 2017 before finally beating the Penguins in 2018 on their way to their first Stanley Cup .
