The Pittsburgh Penguins announced this morning that they and head coach Mike Sullivan have agreed to part ways. The two-time Stanley Cup-winning coach was the longest-tenured coach in Penguins history, after just completing his 10th season in Pittsburgh. Sullivan was under contract through the 2026-27 season.
The 57-year old Sullivan took over the Penguins in 2015 after coaching their minor league club in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and he led the Pens to Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017.
There are now seven head-coaching vacancies in the NHL, including three in the Metropolitan Division with the Penguins, Rangers and Flyers now looking for new leadership.
