Pavel Datsyuk might not be done quite yet. 

The Russian superstar told TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger that he has lots of hockey in his future and hasn't made a decision on what he plans to do next season.

This came on the heels of Russia's 7-2 throttling of the United States in the bronze medal game at the World Hockey Championship from Russia. The 37-year-old picked up three helpers in the victory. 

In an interview with the Detroit Free Press in April, the Red Wings star said he had planned on retiring from the National Hockey League following the playoffs.

"I'm thinking I go home after this season," Datsyuk told the Free Press. "I may not be done with hockey, but — it is hard to say — I think I am done playing in NHL."

However, shortly after the article was published, Datsyuk said his decision on his hockey future was not 100 per cent and his focus was on the Wings playoff run. Detroit lost in five games to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the opening round. 

Datsyuk netted 16 goals and 33 assists with a plus-7 rating over 66 games this season, his 14th with the Red Wings. He has one year left on his current contract with an average annual value of $7.5 million.
