Mike Sullivan expected to return as Penguins coach next season

After another early postseason exit and with new decision makers in the front office, questions emerged last week about coach Mike Sullivan's job status. However, a source told the Post-Gazette that Sullivan will "100%" return behind the bench for the 2021-22 season. The coach still has three seasons remaining on a contract he inked in July of 2019, and has the full support of new general manager Ron Hextall and president of hockey operations Brian Burke.
