The Penguins signed coach Mike Sullivan to a four-year contract extension today, in the process draining much of the remaining drama from what has thus far been a fairly eventful summer for the black and gold. Financial terms of the contract, which runs through the 2023-24 season, were not disclosed.
Since taking over for Mike Johnston in December 2015, the 51-year-old Marshfield, Massachusetts native has guided the Pens to a record of 174-92-34 and 382 points, third-most of any coach in team history, and back-to-back Stanley Cups.
“Mike has done a great job delivering four 100-plus point seasons with our team,” Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford said.
