The Penguins have signed head coach Mike Sullivan to a three-year extension, the team announced today. If all goes according to plan, the new contract will run though the 2026-27 season.
His record certainly speaks for itself. Since inheriting a talented but moribund team from Mike Johnston on December 12, 2015, Sullivan’s guided the Pens to a sterling mark of 297-156-54. Two Stanley Cups. Eight consecutive postseason appearances.
The all-time winningest coach in franchise history.
“Mike is one of the top coaches in the National Hockey League, and it was important for us to have him signed long term,” said GM Ron Hextall.
