Evgeni Malkin had his three Stanley Cup rings stolen

Over the past few months, there’s been a trend in the world of sport for star players to be robbed.

Basically, it happens during a match. The thieves know that the owner of the house is not at home, and they take advantage of the situation to steal equipment from the house.

And since athletes are often rich…

Unfortunately, it happened to Evgeni Malkin. The Penguins star fell victim to the phenomenon when thieves showed up at his home to steal equipment.

And according to Jennifer Borrasso, who reported the story, #71’s three Stanley Cup rings (2009, 2016 and 2017) are missing.

The Penguins have confirmed the news, while mentioning that further details will not be released to the public by the club in order to respect the Russian’s privacy.

According to reports, it happened on Saturday, during the game against Ottawa.

The rear door of the house was reportedly kicked in and the alarm system was not on. The player’s safe was broken into during the burglary.

911 was called, but it’s not known by whom.

With the spate of break-ins at the homes of big-name athletes, I wonder if many players (and families) are thinking of having their home security upgraded, just to make sure they don’t get caught up in the spate too.

Let’s hope Malkin gets his rings back… but don’t hold your breath.

Overtime

– He’s strong.

– Last Islanders powerplay goal: Juan Soto was still a free agent.

– Really?
