The 1986–87 Edmonton Oilers season was the Oilers' eighth 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 third-straight Stanley Cup. Edmonton won the Presidents' Trophy, as they finished with 106 points and won their sixth straight Smythe Division title. There was no postseason upset this year, as Oilers defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in the Stanley Cup Finals to win their third Stanley Cup in four years, although the Flyers did push the Finals series to seven games.

As of 2024 this is the Oilers' most recent regular season division title, making it the longest such active drought in the North American major professional sports leagues.

Regular season

Wayne Gretzky led the league with 183 points, earning his seventh consecutive Art Ross Trophy and his eighth straight Hart Trophy. Jari Kurri finished 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 defencemen.

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

Playoffs

Main article: 1987 Stanley Cup Finals

In the playoffs, the Oilers got a bit of a scare in their opening game against the Los Angeles Kings, losing 5–2, but Edmonton rebounded, winning game two by a 13–3 score and won eight games in a row to get past the Kings and sweep the Winnipeg Jets in the process. Edmonton had little trouble getting past the Detroit Red Wings in the Conference Finals, defeating them in five games and faced the only other 100-point team in the NHL in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Philadelphia Flyers. The series went the full seven games, with Edmonton winning the seventh and deciding game by a 3–1 score to capture their third Stanley Cup in the past four years. No Oiler won the Conn Smythe Trophy, as Ron Hextall of the Flyers won it despite failing to win the Stanley Cup.
