Sullivan's final chapters in Pittsburgh weren't great, but he is a giant in Penguins history and will be remembered as such.

Mike Sullivan and the Penguins have agreed to part ways, the team announced on Monday morning, ending his tenure as the Penguins' coach after nine seasons.

Sullivan served as Pittsburgh head coach from the 2015-16 season through the end of the team's 2024-25 campaign, winning the Stanley Cup in each of his first two years with the team. The Penguins missed the playoffs in 2025, ending the season with a 34-36-12 record.
