Evgeni Malkin sends birthday wishes to son with funny Instagram photo
Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin celebrated his son’s birthday with another classic Instagram post.
Malkin posted a photo of his 3-year-old son Nikita with a pacifier in his mouth as he lay in his crib. Dad is lying on an adjacent bed, with a pacifier of his own in his mouth.
“Who is 3 today?” Malkin wrote.
Malkin’s wife, Anna Kasterova, also offered birthday wishes to Nikita, albeit with a more traditional Instagram photo of the youngster playing ball hockey.
Malkin, who is known for having a witty social media presence, posted a photo of himself in the cockpit of a Russian fighter jet earlier this offseason.
