Evgeni Malkin spent the NHL’s break for 4 Nations Face-Off in South Florida enjoying quality time with family, swimming and sneaking in a dinner with longtime frenemy Alex Ovechkin.

Oh, and there’s this …

“I not retire,” Malkin said to The Athletic on Wednesday. “I know what some people say — like, I go back to Russia and play for my home team. But I never say it, you know?

“I retire with Pittsburgh. The Penguins are my team. I love this team. When I retire it’s here.”

Though Malkin spoke as recently as last September about wanting another 100-point season in the NHL, his days as a dominant scorer are likely finished. He has one season remaining on his contract and has not decided if it will be his last.

That last contract will be with the Penguins, though.

“I retire here — with Penguins — when it happens,” Malkin said. “This is my only team.”

“I not play in Russia after Pittsburgh,” Malkin said Wednesday. “Maybe one game for home team in Russia. Just one to say goodbye.”

@Penguins: Captain. Leader. Legend. 🇨🇦

Sidney Crosby has been named Captain of Team Canada at #4Nations .

Crosby’s resume includes two Olympic gold medals, a gold from the IIHF World Hockey Championship, a gold at the World Junior Championship and a World Cup title. He was also named MVP of the 2016 World Cup tournament.

So while Crosby may have ceded the unofficial title of “best player on the planet” to Connor McDavid in recent years, there was no serious discussion about anyone else taking the captaincy for the Feb. 12 to 20 tournament. McDavid, named an alternate captain along with Cale Makar, made sure of that.

“It should be Sid. It should be Sid for sure,” McDavid told reporters in October when asked about Canada’s captaincy decision. “That’s not even a question. It’s just how it should be. He’s Sidney Crosby and he’s been there so many times and he’s the guy. It’s not like I thought about it a lot, it’s just such a no-brainer.”

insane…
