The 1987-88 Minnesota North Stars season saw the North Stars finish in fifth place in the Norris Division with a record of 19 wins, 48 losses, and 13 ties for 51 points. They failed to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive season.
The leading scorer for the North Stars in 1987-88 was Dino Ciccarelli. However, he became involved in controversy when, on January 6, 1988, he struck Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Luke Richardson with his stick in a game at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Ciccarelli was arrested and charged with assault; he was eventually fined $1000 and sentenced to one day in jail.
