The Pittsburgh Penguins and Head Coach Mike Sullivan have agreed to part ways, it was announced today by President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Kyle Dubas.
Sullivan was elevated from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL to be Pittsburgh’s head coach in December of 2015 and went on to lead the team to back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships in 2016 and 2017. Sullivan’s 409 wins with Pittsburgh make him the Penguins all-time wins leader and just the 14th coach in NHL history to win 400 games with one team.
A thorough search for the next head coach of the Penguins will begin immediately.
