The 2024–25 Boston Bruins season was the 101st season (100th season of play) for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on November 1, 1924.[1]

On April 5, 2025, the Bruins, despite a 5–1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes, were eliminated from playoff contention, missing the playoffs for the first time since their 2015–16 season following their rival Montreal Canadiens' victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.[2] This was the first time since 2006–07 that the Bruins finished with a losing record. Despite a decent start to the season with a 20–14–4 record, the Bruins fell apart, suffering a 13–25–6 record the rest of the season.
