2015–16 Boston Bruins season

The 2015–16 Boston Bruins season was the Bruins' 92nd season in the National Hockey League (NHL).[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]
