Sullivan: ‘We’ll get through this together’

Mike Sullivan doesn't know when the NHL will come out of suspended animation.

Heck, he -- like pretty much everyone else -- doesn't even know if that will happen in time to save the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs, let alone a slice of the regular season.

But he does seem reasonably confident that if hockey returns this spring, Jake Guentzel will make it into the Penguins' lineup.

When Guentzel underwent shoulder surgery after being being injured against Ottawa Dec. 30, the prognosis was that he would be sidelined 4-6 months.
