PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford has resigned, citing personal reasons behind the decision. Patrick Allvin will serve as the interim general manager while the club searches for a permanent replacement. The 71-year-old Rutherford arrived in Pittsburgh in the summer of 2014 and oversaw a roster rebuild that helped the Penguins win consecutive Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. His resignation comes with Pittsburgh off to a solid 4-2-1 start.
