Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford, a former G.M. of the Windsor Spitfires is resigning due to personal reasons

Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford has resigned.

The 71-year-old member of the Hockey Hall of Fame cited ``personal reasons'' behind the decision.

Patrick Allvin will serve as the interim general manager while the club searches for a permanent replacement.

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.
