Pittsburgh Penguins centre Sidney Crosby, defencemen Brian Dumoulin Chad Ruhwedel and Marcus Pettersson have been activated from the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list ahead of Sunday’s game against the Washinton Capitals.
Crosby and Dumoulin went into the protocol on Nov. 3. Sullivan joined them a day later as part of an outbreak that’s seen eight Penguins and their longtime coach miss time.
Acting head coach Todd Reirden said before Saturday’s game in Ottawa that he expected Sullivan to be back behind the bench when the Penguins take on the Capitals.
The Penguins have struggled through the opening month of the season while dealing with a myriad of absences to high-profile players due to COVID-19. Forwards Jeff Carter and Jake Guentzel are among a group who spent time in protocol during the first few weeks of the season.
