Pittsburgh Penguins announce an update on Mike Sullivan's contract
The Pittsburgh Penguins are entering the twilight of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang's career. With 3 more years with Crosby under contract the team is poised to try and contend for that time period. Now it appears that Brian Burke and Ron Hextall have decided that Mike Sullivan was the right guy for the job.
Today the Penguins announced they'd signed Sullivan to a 3-year contract extension.
Sullivan, 54, is undoubtedly the best coach in Pittsburgh's history, boasting a 297-156-54 record along with two Stanley Cups, but has yet to win a round since 2018.
This contract will take Sullivan through the 2026-2027 season. Sullivan previously replace Mike Johnston during the 2015 season, before winning the Cup in 2016 and 2017.
