It was contested between the Los Angeles Kings and the Montreal Canadiens . It was the first appearance in the Final for the Kings and the first appearance since the 1920 Final for a team based on the west coast of the United States . It was also the 34th and (as of 2018) most recent appearance for Montreal, their first since the 1989 Final . The Canadiens won the series four games to one to win the team's 24th Stanley Cup . The year 1993 was the 100th anniversary of the first awarding of the Stanley Cup in 1893, and the first Finals to start in the month of June . The 1993 Canadiens are also the last Stanley Cup championship team to be composed solely of North American - born players . To date, this is the last Stanley Cup finals won by a Canadian team . </P> <P> The series is remembered for Kings defenceman Marty McSorley's penalty late in the third period of game two for using an illegal stick, in what proved to be the turning point in the 1993 Cup Finals . When McSorley entered the penalty box, Los Angeles held a 1--0 series lead, and a 2--1 score in the contest . The Canadiens then went on to score the equalizer on the ensuing power play, won game two in overtime, and then defeated the Kings in the next three games to win the Cup . </P>
