The 2015-16 NHL season was the 99th season of operation (98th season of play) of the National Hockey League (NHL). The season ended with the Pittsburgh Penguins winning their fourth Stanley Cup.
None of the seven Canadian-based teams qualified for the playoffs; this was the second season in league history that the playoff field consisted of only United States-based teams. The only other time in league history that no Canadian teams qualified for the postseason was in 1970.
