festivities for the 1986–87 NHL season. The Soviet team was paid $80,000 for their appearance in Rendez-vous '87, while the NHLers raised $350,000 for the players' pension fund.
Rendez-vous '87 was designed as a follow-up to the Challenge Cup
series in 1979, hoping that the team of NHL All-Stars could beat the Soviet team, unlike before. To this end, the series was a two-game affair instead of a three-game affair in 1979. The two-game series took place during five days of festivities starting on February 9, 1987 and finishing on February 13. The series was very successful, with some, including Wayne Gretzky

, and the Whalers continued their winning ways against the Nordiques in the playoffs, winning the first game 3-2 in overtime, followed by a narrow 5-4 victory over Quebec in the second game to take a 2-0 series lead. With the series returning to Le Colisee
for the next two games, the Nordiques responded, easily defeating Hartford 5-1 in the third game, followed by a 4-1 win in the fourth game to even the series at two. The series shifted back to Hartford for the fifth game, however, the Nordiques came out ahead with a solid 7-5 victory, to take a 3-2 series lead.

The Nordiques then moved on to face the Montreal Canadiens
, the defending Stanley Cup
champions, in the Battle of Quebec
in the best of seven Adams Division
final. Montreal had a 41-29-10 record, getting 92 points, which was 20 more than the Nordiques. Montreal then swept the Boston Bruins
in four games in the first round of the playoffs. The series opened with two games at the Montreal Forum
, but it was the Nordiques, who stayed hot, took a 2-0 series lead, defeating the Canadiens 7-5 in the series opener, followed by a 2-1 win in the second game. The series moved to Le Colisee
for the next two games, and the Canadiens rebounded, easily defeating the Nordiques 7-2 in the third game, then tied the series with a 3-2 overtime win in the fourth game. In the fifth game back in Montreal, the Canadiens held off the Nordiques once again, winning 3-2 to take the series lead. Quebec then tied the series up in the sixth game, hanging on with a 3-2 win, to force a seventh and deciding game.
