The 2001–02 Boston Bruins season was the Boston Bruins's 78th season of operation. The Bruins qualified for the playoffs, losing in the first round to the Montreal Canadiens.

Offseason

After barely missing the playoffs the previous season, the Bruins went on a free-agent signing spree under new general manager Mike O'Connell. The team signed high-profile free agents: forwards Martin Lapointe, Bill Guerin, Rob Zamuner, and Scott Pellerin, and defenseman Sean O'Donnell.

Two more major pieces for the Bruins came thanks to a contract holdout by captain Jason Allison. After failing to report to training camp and missing all of the pre-season, Allison was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for two former Bruins: Glen Murray and Jozef Stumpel. The two proved to be invaluable to the team, as Stumpel led the team in assists and Murray finished second on the team in goals, more than making up for Allison's production.

Regular season

On October 25, 2001, Joe Thornton scored just 12 seconds into the overtime period to give the Bruins a 2–1 home win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.{{cite web |title=Boston 2, Toronto 1 (OT) - UPI Archives |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/2001/10/25/Boston-2-Toronto-1-OT/8901003982400/ |website=UPI |access-date=March 5, 2023 |date=October 25, 2001}} It would prove to be the fastest overtime goal scored during the 2001–02 regular season.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2002_games.html|title=2001-02 NHL Schedule and Results}}
