In the Campbell Conference Finals, the Oilers met the Norris Division champion Chicago Blackhawks. The Oilers would take Game One of the series, stretching their playoff win streak to eight games, before Chicago even the series at Northlands Coliseum with a 4-3 victory. Game Three at Chicago Stadium was dominated by the Blackhawks 5-1, as they took advantage of several Oiler defensive zone turnovers. In Game Four at Chicago Stadium, Mark Messier ran roughshod over the Blackhawks in what "New York Times" reporter Jeff Klein called "the most terrifying one-man wrecking crew display in hockey history." Messier scored two goals, added two assists, threw several hard hits, and broke multiple hockey sticks over Blackhawks' players in a 4-2 Edmonton victory. The Oilers returned home and won Game Five by a tight 4-3 margin, and returned to Chicago Stadium and thumped the Blackhawks 8-4 to clinch the series in 6 games. Forward Glenn Anderson led the way in the final game, scoring a goal and two assists. The Oilers advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals for the sixth time in eight seasons, and in their 11-year NHL history.
