It won’t take long for new Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan to face his old team. 

The NHL announced on Monday afternoon that the Blueshirts will play host to the Penguins on  Oct. 7 at 8:00 p.m. as part of an Opening Night tripleheader.

This will be Sullivan’s first time facing off with Pittsburgh since the 2013-14 season. 

The veteran headman spent the past 10 years behind the bench with the club, helping them reach the postseason eight times including a pair of Stanley Cup victories. 

He’ll now look to carry that success over to the Big Apple, where the Blueshirts are coming off an extremely disappointing 2024-25 campaign. 

This meeting will also be a homecoming for Sullivan’s replacement Dan Muse, who spent the last two seasons as an assistant on Peter Laviolette’s coaching staff. 

Florida will host the Blackhawks (5:00 p.m.) and the Kings will host the Av’s (10:30 p.m.) to round out the slate. 

The rest of the NHL schedule is set to be released on Wednesday afternoon.
