The Oilers, with a record of 56-17- 7/119pts, and Gretzky, with 215pts, were the early favorites to win the cup.

The Oilers never recovered and the Oilers were eliminated.

For the first time since the 1980-81 season, Gretzky did not win the scoring title. That honor went to Pittsburgh Penguin Mario Lemieux. During this season Paul Coffey was traded to Pittsburgh after holding out for a better contract. Grant Fuhr set a record for the most games played, 75. The Oilers posted a record of 44-25-11/99pts (appropriate) and met the Boston Bruins in the finals. The Oilers jumped out to a three game to nothing lead. But with in game four, with the score 3-3, the lights went out at 16:37 of the third. The game was postponed and the next game played in Edmonton, where the Oilers beat the Bruins 6-3, for their fourth cup, all won on home ice. It would be Wayne Gretzky's last Stanley Cup to date, and Gretzky's last game in an Oilers' uniform.

On August 9, 1988, Oilers team owner Peter Pocklington, stating team financial troubles, traded Wayne Gretzky, along with Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski, to the Los Angeles Kings. In return, the Oilers received Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, three first round draft picks (89, 91, 93) and an estimated $15-20 million.

In a twist of fate, the Oilers met up with Gretzky and the Kings in the first round of the playoffs. The Kings fought back from three games to one to defeat the Oilers in game seven in Los Angeles. Gretzky put in the empty net goal to seal the Oilers fate. The Oilers finished the season 38-34-8/84pts, good for third in the Smythe, behind the Kings.

The Oilers were better this season. They came back from a three games to one against Winnipeg to defeat the Jets in seven. They got their revenge on the Kings, sweeping them in the second round. Thanks to strong goaltending by Bill Ranford, the Oilers made it to the finals against the Bruins. Another power failure, but no postponment, and the Oilers won their fifth Stanley Cup. Their record was 38-28- 14/90pts.

The Oilers made it to the Campbell Conference championship, but lost the Minnesota North Stars. The record was 37-37-6/80pts.
