2015–16 Boston Bruins season
NHL team season
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 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] As of 2024, this represents the most recent season not making the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Bruins.
