Evgeni Malkins agent J. Nike Air Max Levně .P. Barry says his client has never thought about playing for another NHL team. Barry told Rob Rossi of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Tuesday that their negotiations for Malkins eight-year $76 million contract extension were done smoothly, after a Russian report this week quoted Malkins father Vladimir saying the Dallas Stars showed interested in his services. "Ray Shero, David Morehouse, Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux showed a willingness throughout to find a fair structure for both sides," Barry told the paper. "Evgeni was very pleased that this negotiation was concluded amicably as his wishes were always to remain in Pittsburgh." Also, Evgeni Malkin sent a text message to the Tribune-Review on Tuesday saying he wanted "only to play for Pittsburgh." In an interview with Russian sports website SovSport translated by Dmitry Chesnokov of Yahoo! Sports, Vladimir Malkin said that the Dallas Stars offered Evgeni more money than the Penguins this summer. Evgeni, however, was still under contract with Pittsburgh before signing his contract extension with the team on June 13. "You know, Dallas offered him a greater deal than Pittsburgh," Malkin - according to Chesnokov - reportedly told SovSport. "And he said, No, I do not want to go there. The Stars had signed Sergei Gonchar. His best friend is out there playing. Why not agree? "And Geno said he wasnt torn about not going to Dallas. He didnt want to change houses. Im used to Pittsburgh, the city and the team, he said." In the SovSport interview, Vladimir Malkin added that Evgeni told him, "if there was ever the case where I have to leave the Penguins, I would rather choose the New York Rangers or the Montreal Canadiens." The Stars denied any suggestion that they may have tampered with Malkin. "We have seen the reports that have surfaced out of Russia claiming that we have tampered and they are completely untrue," general manager Jim Nill said in a statement on Tuesday. "The Dallas Stars organization respects and adheres to all rules and regulations set forth by the National Hockey League and any report that claims otherwise is false."

Viciedo hit a long three-run homer, Conor Gillaspie collected four more hits and the White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2 on Monday. Abreu, who is out with a left ankle injury, took 25 grounders and played soft toss before the game. He also hit 30 balls off a tee. The slugger is expected to be activated from the 15-day disabled list when he is eligible on June 2. Viciedo went 2 for 4 for his first multihit game since May 19 at Kansas City. He said the bond between the two Cuban players has been beneficial for both sides. "We have a great relationship," he said through an interpreter. "There are some things he has mentioned to me and I give him advice as well. It goes both ways. Knowing each other for years and then being here together definitely helps." Gillaspie went 4 for 4, scored twice and drove in a run. He became the first White Sox player to hit three doubles in a single game since Paul Konerko on May 26, 2012, against the Indians. Viciedo connected in the third inning against Josh Tomlin as the White Sox improved to 5-3 this year against Cleveland. Mike Aviles, Michael Brantley and Ryan Raburn had two hits apiece for the Indians, who have dropped three of four. Brantley and Raburn each drove in a run. Cleveland third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall committed a costly error in the third inning, allowing Marcus Semien to reach. Gillaspie then singled to put runners on first and second before Viciedo drove a 1-2 pitch over the wall in left for his fifth homer, giving the White Sox a 3-1 lead. "Thats on me," Tomlin said. "I need to do a better job of picking Lonnie up there. It took a tough hop and I need to come back and make a better pitch to Viciedo right there."

Tomlin (3-2) allowed two earned runs and five hits in five-plus innings. He struck out eight and walked one. Jose Quintana (3-4) pitched six effective innings for the White Sox, allowing two runs and five hits. Scott Downs got four outs for his first save. "Its great to give Q some run support," Gillaspie said. "Hes a guy that goes out there every time, hes a fighter, hes a bulldog out there. To give him some run support, it has to make him feel better about his performance." Quintana also got some help from his defence in the sixth. Raburn singled in Brantley with one out, but was thrown out by right fielder Moises Sierra trying to stretch it to a double. "Its a good feeling," Quintana said. "Thats a good one for us, the first game of the series. It was good to make a quality start, too, which gives us a chance to win."
