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.
