Evgeni Malkin's 3 Penguins Stanley Cup Rings Found in Home After Burglary, Police Say

Evgeni Malkin's Stanley Cup rings were found safe in his home after the Pittsburgh Penguins star was burglarized last week.

The Allegheny County Police Department announced on social media Thursday that Malkin's three championship rings, which were initially believed to have been stolen, were found in his residence.

While his rings were not stolen, the Allegheny County Police Department clarified that the investigation is ongoing.

In a statement, Malkin thanked the Allegheny County Police, the Sewickley Heights and the Penguins organization.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Allegheny County Police, the Sewickley Heights Police and the entire Penguins organization," he said. "The outpouring of support and concern from my teammates and fans over the past few days means so much to my family and I."

The burglary of his home occurred on Jan. 10 while the Penguins were playing the Ottawa Senators at PPG Paints Arena. A 911 call reporting the robbery came a few hours after the game.

A handful of professional athletes have dealt with burglaries over the past year, including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić and more.

Amid a slew of robberies, the FBI issued a warning to pro sports leagues about athletes' homes being targeted while they were playing games or traveling.
