The Penguins captured their first Stanley Cup championship, defeating the Minnesota North Stars in six games. The North Stars were making their second appearance in the finals.
Pittsburgh center Mario Lemieux, despite missing one game in the series due to a back injury, recorded 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in five games to lead all scorers. His overall playoff performance earned him Conn Smythe Trophy honors.
Penguins defenseman Larry Murphy tallied 10 points (one goal, nine assists) in six games, the second highest total for a defenseman in Stanley Cup finals history.
