The 1991–92 Edmonton Oilers season was the Oilers' 13th season in the NHL, and they were coming off a 3rd round playoff appearance in 1990–91, losing to the Minnesota North Stars in the Campbell Conference finals.
Prior to the season, the Oilers would be involved in a couple of blockbuster deals, the first one occurring on September 19, as Edmonton would trade Grant Fuhr, Glenn Anderson and Craig Berube to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Vincent Damphousse, Peter Ing, Scott Thornton and Luke Richardson. A little over 2 weeks later, the Oilers would then deal Mark Messier to the New York Rangers for Bernie Nicholls, Steven Rice and Louie DeBrusk. Edmonton would also name Ted Green as head coach as John Muckler left the Oilers for a job with the Buffalo Sabres.
Vincent Damphousse would be the Oilers leader offensively, scoring a team high 38 goals and 51 assists for 89 points. Joe Murphy would have a solid season, earning 82 points. Bernie Nicholls would miss 31 games due to injury, but would record 49 points in the 49 games he played in. Defensively, Dave Manson would anchor the blueline, leading all defensemen with 15 goals and 47 points, and leading the club in penalty minutes with 220. Fellow blueliner Norm MacIver would earn 40 points in 59 games.
