The playoffs concluded on May 24 with the champion Montreal Canadiens defeating the Calgary Flames 4–3 to win the Stanley Cup in five games. This was the last time to date that all active Canadian teams have qualified in the same season and also the second time that all seven active teams at the time qualified, the first occurring three years earlier. The 1986 playoffs saw three first place teams eliminated in the opening round and the fourth, Edmonton, bowed out in the second. This was the last time that all six Sutter brothers participated in the playoffs in the same year. In the first round, six of the eight series ended in a three-game sweep. The only two first-round series that did not were the Rangers over the Flyers, and the Blues over the North Stars, both going the full five games. The Montreal Canadiens decided to go with a rookie goaltender by the name of Patrick Roy. This decision proved to be a good one just like when the Canadiens rode rookie goalie Ken Dryden to a Stanley Cup championship in 1971. In the Stanley Cup Final, the Canadiens beat the Calgary Flames, who were also riding a rookie netminder, Mike Vernon. Patrick Roy won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP and had a sparkling 1.92 goals against average along with 15 wins. St. Louis forwards Doug Gilmour and Bernie Federko led the playoffs in scoring with 21 points despite missing the finals; this feat was not repeated until 1999. The 1986 playoffs marked the first time that all four former WHA teams made the playoffs in the same year. This would happen again the following year and in 1999, by which time 3 of those teams had moved, the Quebec Nordiques to Denver, the Winnipeg Jets to Phoenix, and the Hartford Whalers to Raleigh. Playoff seeds The top four teams in each division qualified for the playoffs, as follows: Prince of Wales Conference Adams Division Quebec Nordiques, Adams Division champions – 92 points Montreal Canadiens – 87 points Boston Bruins – 86 points Hartford Whalers – 84 points Patrick Division Philadelphia Flyers, Patrick Division champions, Prince of Wales Conference regular season champions – 110 points Washington Capitals – 107 points New York Islanders – 90 points New York Rangers – 78 points Clarence Campbell Conference Norris Division Chicago Black Hawks, Norris Division champions – 86 points Minnesota North Stars – 85 points St. Louis Blues – 83 points Toronto Maple Leafs – 57 points Smythe Division Edmonton Oilers, Smythe Division champions, Clarence Campbell Conference regular season champions, Presidents' Trophy winners – 119 points Calgary Flames – 89 points Winnipeg Jets – 59 points (26 wins) Vancouver Canucks – 59 points (23 wins) Playoff bracket In the division semifinals, the fourth seeded team in each division played against the division winner from their division. The other series matched the second and third place teams from the divisions. The two winning teams from each division's semifinals then met in the division finals. The two division winners of each conference then played in the conference finals. The two conference winners then advanced to the Stanley Cup Final. This was the first postseason since the 1981-82 realignment that home ice advantage was awarded to the team that had the better regular season record for all four rounds of the playoffs. Each division semifinals series was competed in a best-of-five playoff following a 2–2–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each series), with the team with home ice advantage playing at home for games one and two (and game five, if necessary), and the other team playing at home for game three (and game four, if necessary). In the other three rounds, each series was competed in a best-of-seven playoff following a 2–2–1–1–1 format, with the team with home ice advantage playing at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team playing at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). The Stanley Cup Final was changed back to a 2–2–1–1–1 format after using a 2-3-2 format (with the sites of games five and six switched) during the previous two Finals. main Bracket Division semifinals Division finals Conference finals Stanley Cup Final Prince of Wales Conference Clarence Campbell Conference A1 Quebec 0 A4 Hartford 3 A2 Montreal 3 A3 Boston 0 P1 Philadelphia 2 P4 NY Rangers 3 P2 Washington 3 P3 NY Islanders 0 N1 Chicago 0 N4 Toronto 3 N2 Minnesota 2 N3 St. Louis 3 S1 Edmonton 3 S4 Vancouver 0 S2 Calgary 3 S3 Winnipeg 0 A4 Hartford 3 A2 Montreal 4 P4 NY Rangers 4 P2 Washington 2 N4 Toronto 3 N3 St. Louis 4 S1 Edmonton 3 S2 Calgary 4 A2 Montreal 4 P4 NY Rangers 1 N3 St. Louis 3 S2 Calgary 4 A2 Montreal 4 S2 Calgary 1 Division semifinals Prince of Wales Conference (A1) Quebec Nordiques vs. (A4) Hartford Whalers This was the first NHL playoff series between these two teams.

Edmonton won both previous meetings, including their most recent meeting in seven games in the 1984 Smythe Division Finals. The deciding goal of game seven between the Oilers and Flames was scored five minutes into the third period when Edmonton's Steve Smith attempted a cross-ice pass from the side of his own net and the puck struck goaltender Grant Fuhr's leg and went into the Edmonton goal. Perry Berezan of the Flames was given credit for the goal as he was the last opposing player to touch the puck. This goal is significant because it eliminated the Oilers from the playoffs and prevented them from possibly winning a third straight Stanley Cup, as well as a record tying five straight Stanley Cups. To date this is the Flames' only playoff series victory over the Oilers.

This was the Canadiens' 32nd appearance in the Finals, while the Flames were making their first appearance in the Finals. Montreal had most recently won the Stanley Cup in 1979. The Flames became the first team to represent Calgary in the Finals since the 1923–24 Calgary Tigers who were defeated by the same Montreal Canadiens. In game two Montreal's Brian Skrudland set an NHL and Stanley Cup Final record for the quickest overtime goal in history, scoring just nine seconds into overtime to win the game for Montreal.
