May 17: Islanders win fourth consecutive Stanley Cup championship

The Islanders score three times in the first period and defeat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 at Nassau Coliseum to complete a four-game sweep in the Cup Final. Bryan Trottier, John Tonelli and Mike Bossy score in a span of 1:37 to give the Islanders a three-goal lead, and Ken Morrow hits the empty net to complete the victory.

Billy Smith makes 24 saves for the win and is voted winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after the Islanders hold Wayne Gretzky without a goal in the series.
