The 2015–16 Boston Bruins season was the 92nd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on November 1, 1924.^[1] The Bruins finished 4th in the Atlantic Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Off-season[edit | edit source]

Regular Season[edit | edit source]

The season began its regular games on October 8, 2015 against the Winnipeg Jets with a 6–2 loss.^[2] One all-time franchise achievement the Bruins attained this season is shared by only their greatest rival, the Canadiens - a total of 3,000 wins in the team's existence, achieved by the Bruins on January 8, 2016 in a 4–1 road victory against the New Jersey Devils. However, the Bruins missed the playoffs for the second straight season, and missed the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time in a decade.^[3]
