Pittsburgh Penguins player Evgeni Malkin’s three Stanley Cup rings were found after being stolen during a break-in at his home.
Allegheny County Police announced on Thursday that the rings were recovered in a different area of Malkin’s home in Sewickley Heights, a suburb of Pittsburgh.
Malkin reported the burglary on January 11, after he returned from Pittsburgh’s 5-0 loss to Ottawa at PPG Paints Arena. While the rings have been located, the police investigation into the break-in is still ongoing.
Malkin, 38, is the latest athlete to be targeted in a string of home invasions. In December, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s house was robbed while the Bengals were playing a Monday Night Football game in Dallas.
Earlier in October, homes of Kansas City Chiefs players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were broken into. In the NBA, Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis had his home burglarized on November 2, and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr.’s house was broken into on September 15 while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game.
