Former Penguins coach Mike Sullivan heading to the New York Rangers

  • On May 1, 2025, Mike Sullivan, who recently ended his decade-long tenure with the Pittsburgh Penguins, was appointed as the head coach of the New York Rangers in New York.
  • Sullivan left Pittsburgh after 10 seasons, following three playoff misses amid a roster retooling and the Rangers' dismissal of Peter Laviolette.
  • Sullivan, 57, earned two Stanley Cups with the Penguins and coached nearly 1,000 NHL games while previously serving as a Rangers assistant coach.
  • Sources expect the contract to be among the highest in NHL history, with GM Chris Drury calling Sullivan the Rangers' 38th head coach.
  • The Rangers hired Sullivan to restore playoff contention, ending a two-week search after Laviolette's firing, while Pittsburgh continues seeking a new coach.
