The 1987β88 Detroit Red Wings season was the Red Wings' 56th season, the franchise's 62nd.
Coached by Jacques Demers, the team compiled a record of 41β28β11 for 93 points, to finish first place in the Norris Division at the end of the regular season for the first time since 1965; they were the only team in their division to have a winning record that season. [1] In the playoffs, they won their Norris Division Semifinal series 4β2 over the Toronto Maple Leafs, and they followed that with a 5-game win over the St. Louis Blues in the Norris Division Final. In the Campbell Conference Final, the Red Wings ran out of magic as they lost in five games to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Edmonton Oilers.

The 1987β88 Detroit Red Wings season was the Red Wings' 56th season, the franchise's 62nd.
Coached by Jacques Demers, the team compiled a record of 41β28β11 for 93 points, to finish first place in the Norris Division at the end of the regular season for the first time since 1965; they were the only team in their division to have a winning record that season. [1] In the playoffs, they won their Norris Division Semifinal series 4β2 over the Toronto Maple Leafs, and they followed that with a 5-game win over the St. Louis Blues in the Norris Division Final. In the Campbell Conference Final, the Red Wings ran out of magic as they lost in five games to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Edmonton Oilers.
