Pavel Datsyuk had a big hand in Russia winning bronze at the World Championship. Detroit Red Wings teammate Dylan Larkin left empty handed.
What happens next for Datsyuk should emerge between June 6-16th, his agent tells the Detroit Free Press.
Datsyuk assisted on three goals in a 7-2 victory over Larkin and the U.S. in Moscow. Larkin finished the tournament with nine points in 10 games; Datsyuk had 11 points in 10 games.
Now the Wings await Datsyuk's arrival back to Detroit, and the final word regarding his future.
Datsyuk, 37, has indicated he is going to return to his native Russia for good, even as he has a year left on his contract with the Wings.
