The Pittsburgh Penguins aren't putting any blame on Mike Sullivan, and are likely not considering a coaching change at this point of the season.

What this means is Sullivan’s fate is very much in Dubas’ hands. The Penguins don’t really have a boss in terms of ownership. Mario Lemieux might have been the most hands-off owner imaginable, but he was still the boss and made certain decisions. And kept everyone accountable because of who he was.

Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan has been in the firing conversation, giving the Penguins performance to start the season. Regardless of the shaky start, he remains optimistic about his job security for the foreseeable future.
