Mike Sullivan becomes winningest coach in Penguins franchise history

When the Penguins closed out last night’s game against the Blackhawks with a victory, it meant a 2-0-1 start for the team, but for head coach Mike Sullivan, it meant more.

The win over Chicago gave Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan his 253rd win as coach, making him the winningest coach in franchise history.

With the win, Sullivan moved over former head coach Dan Bylsma.

Sullivan spoke about Bylsma’s tenure as head coach, saying that he has a ‘ton of respect for his coaching ability; and that he ‘thought he did a great job’ with the team as head coach.
