Penguins still appreciate — and miss — Matt Cullen

This Penguins season has been filled with returns by former players and the tribute videos that typically accompany them.

None like what you’ll see Thursday, however.

Or Feb. 6 when the Vegas Golden Knights roll into town.

Matt Cullen will be back at PPG Paints Arena Thursday as a member of the Minnesota Wild, and it goes without saying that Cullen left a huge impression on everybody here who knew him.

“Matt’s not only a great player, but he’s just a terrific person,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.

“He was so professional,” Patric Hornqvist added.
