Playing career
Bonino began his high school football at Farmington High School in Connecticut, where he scored 91 points in 24 games as a junior and led the school to its first state championship under new head coach Mike Barone. He then moved to Avon Old Farms, where he worked for legendary coach John Gardner. Bonino captained a New England Championship hockey team in 2007 while at Avon Old Farms.
Bonino enrolled at Boston University during his undergraduate years. While a sophomore at a Boston University, Bonino helped the Boston Terriers win the NCAA National Championship over Miami University by first assisting Zach Cohen to bring the Terriers within one goal and then scoring the game-tying goal with 17.4 seconds remaining in the third period to force overtime.
In the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Bonino was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the sixth round, 173rd overall. With goaltender Timo Pielmeier in exchange for Travis Moen and Kent Huskins on March 4, 2009, his rights were later traded to the Anaheim Ducks. Bonino committed to a two-year, entry-level deal with the Ducks on March 21, 2010. He made his NHL debut with the Edmonton Oilers on March 26, 2010, shortly after signing with Anaheim. In Anaheim's next game against the Dallas Stars, he scored his first NHL goal; Teemu Selänne assisted him. With six penalty minutes, he ended the year playing in nine games and scoring one goal and one assist.
Bonino scored a hat-trick in his team's 7–4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on February 2, 2013.
Bonino was traded to the Vancouver Canucks with defenseman Luca Sbisa and a third-round pick in 2015 on June 27, 2014, following a breakout season in 2013–14 in which he scored 22 goals and 27 assists (49 points). Bonino played in 75 games, scoring 15 goals and 24 assists (39 points) during his first season with the Canucks. During Vancouver's first round loss to the Calgary Flames in the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs, he scored a goal and had two assists.
Bonino was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Adam Clendening and a 2nd round pick in 2016 for Brandon Sutter and a 3rd round pick on July 28, 2015. Bonino's participation in the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs was a big factor in the Pittsburgh Penguins winning the Stanley Cup as he led the team in assists. The three guys were branded the HBK line by their linemates, Phil Kessel and Carl Hagelin, and praised for their solid play in the playoffs. He was a major contributor to the Pittsburgh Penguins' rise to the first back-to-back Stanley Cup champions of the salary cap period.
After winning the Stanley Cup in each of his two seasons in Pittsburgh, Bonino decided as a free agent and agreed to a four-year $16.4 million contract with the Nashville Predators on July 1, 2017.
Bonino, who was on his last season under control, was traded by the Predators in 2020 for Luke Kunin and a third-round pick in 2020.
Bonino, the original San Jose Sharks draft pick, re-joined the team on July 28, 2021, when signing a two-year, $4.1 million deal as a free agent. On November 24, 2021, he scored his first goal as a Shark, 14 years after being drafted by them and in his 700th game.
Bonino had been selected as an alternate captain of the team by head coach David Quinn on October 6, 2022.
