The 2006–07 Boston Bruins season was the Boston Bruins' 83rd season of operation. The Bruins finished 5th in the Northeast Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Off-season[]

Forward Marc Savard and defenceman Zdeno Chara were major additions to the team via free agency, while goaltender Tim Thomas took over the starting job after Andrew Raycroft was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the off-season.

Regular season[]

Phil Kessel, the team's first-round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, immediately entered the lineup. However, he was lost from the roster in mid-December, when he was diagnosed with a form of testicular cancer.[1] Kessel's cancer proved to be operable and was removed, and he returned to the Bruins' lineup on January 9, less than a month after his diagnosis.[2]
