In the Stanley Cup semifinals, the Wings defeated the Montreal Canadiens, three games to two. In the 1937 Stanley Cup Finals, the Wings defeated the New York Rangers, three games to two. It was the Red Wings' second consecutive Stanley Cup championship.

Although Defenceman Doug Young was originally the team captain, Herbie Lewis, arguably the team's best player, was eventually chosen as team captain, and led the Red Wings down the stretch to their second Stanley Cup in as many years. The team's statistical leaders included Larry Aurie with 23 goals, Marty Barry and 27 assists and 44 points scored, and Ebbie Goodfellow with 43 penalty minutes. Aurie's 23 goals tied for the most in the NHL during the 1936-37 season, and Barry's 27 assists were second most in the league. Normie Smith was the team's goaltender in all 48 games. Smith's 25 wins as goaltender led the NHL during the 1936-37 season, and his 2,980 minutes in goal were the second most in the league.[1]

Four members of the team have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame: Ebbie Goodfellow (inducted in 1963); Syd Howe (inducted 1965); Marty Barry (inducted 1965); and Herbie Lewis (inducted 1989).
