The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that head coach Mike Sullivan is leaving after a decade with the team, which saw him lead them to two Stanley Cup titles in 2016 and 2017. This shift comes as the Penguins failed to qualify for the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. GM Kyle Dubas acknowledged Sullivan's commitment to the team and expressed that the decision was not taken lightly as the organization navigates a transitional phase. Sidney Crosby, the team's captain, was informed about this decision, although he was not consulted beforehand.
“On behalf of Fenway Sports Group and the Penguins organization, I would like to thank Mike Sullivan for his unwavering commitment and loyalty to the team and City of Pittsburgh over the past decade.”
“This was not a decision that was taken lightly, but as we continue to navigate the Penguins through this transitional period, we felt it was the best course forward for all involved.”
