New York Rangers hire ex-Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan

  • The New York Rangers hired Mike Sullivan as their head coach on Friday following the firing of Peter Laviolette two weeks earlier.
  • The Rangers dismissed Laviolette after they missed the 2024-2025 playoffs despite reaching the Eastern Conference Finals twice in three years.
  • Sullivan, 57, served as head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins for 10 seasons, during which he guided the team to consecutive Stanley Cup victories in 2016 and 2017, but the Penguins failed to qualify for the playoffs in each of the last three years under his leadership.
  • Chris Drury, the Rangers’ general manager, emphasized that Sullivan’s extensive coaching achievements—including leading Team USA internationally and winning two Stanley Cups—make him the ideal choice to bring a winning mentality to the team’s bench.
  • The Rangers plan more roster changes while managing a $1.7 million cap space, with decisions about arbitration-eligible defenseman K'Andre Miller being a priority moving forward.
