The 1986–87 Edmonton Oilers season was the Oilers 8th season in the NHL, and they were coming off a heart breaking playoff loss to the Calgary Flames the year before, ending the Oilers bid for a 3rd straight Stanley Cup. Edmonton would win the Presidents Trophy, as they finished with 106 points, and win their 6th straight Smythe Division title.

Wayne Gretzky would lead the league with 183 points, earning his 7th Art Ross Trophy and win his 8th Hart Trophy. Jari Kurri would finish with 54 goals and 108 points, while Mark Messier had a career high 107 points. Esa Tikkanen had a break out season, getting 78 points, including 34 goals, along with 120 penalty minutes. Paul Coffey missed 21 games, but still finished with 67 points to lead Oilers defensemen.

In goal, Grant Fuhr and Andy Moog would once again split time, with Moog leading the team with 28 wins, while Fuhr posted a team best 3.44 GAA.

In the playoffs, the Oilers would get a bit of a scare in their opening game against the Los Angeles Kings, losing 5–2, but Edmonton would rebound, winning game 2 by a 13–3 score, and would win 8 games in a row to get past the Kings, and sweep the Winnipeg Jets in the process. Edmonton would have little trouble getting past the Detroit Red Wings in the Conference Finals, defeating them in 5 games, and would face the only other 100 point team in the NHL in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Philadelphia Flyers. The series would go the full 7 games, with Edmonton winning the 7th and deciding game by a 3–1 score to capture their 3rd Stanley Cup in the past 4 years. No Oiler won the Conn Smythe Trophy, as Ron Hextall of the Flyers won it despite failing to win the Stanley Cup.
