The 1933–34 New York Americans season was the Americans' 9th season of play. The Americans again did not qualify for the playoffs. This was the fifth straight season that they missed the playoffs and the eighth time out of nine seasons.

Regular Season

Ottawa Senators substitute goalie Alec Connell came on in relief of Roy Worters during the second period of the March 15, 1934 game and picked up the win as the Americans beat the Senators 3-2. This was the last NHL game played in Ottawa for the original Senators franchise.

Boston Bruins farmhand goalie Percy Jackson, who was playing for the Boston Cubs, was loaned to the Americans for a game against the Bruins on March 18, 1934. Boston triumphed 9-5 with Shore and Nels Stewart both collecting four points.
