For several months now, there has been a trend in the sports world: some star players are being burglarized.

Basically, this happens during a game. The thieves know that the homeowner is not at home, and they take advantage of this to steal equipment from the house.

And since athletes are often wealthy…

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

According to Jennifer Borrasso, who reported the story, the three Stanley Cup rings (2009, 2016, and 2017) of #71 are missing.

The Penguins confirmed the news, while mentioning that additional details will not be communicated to the public by the club in order to respect the Russian's privacy.

According to reports, this occurred on Saturday during the game against Ottawa.

It is reported that the back door of the house was broken down and that the alarm system was not activated. The athlete's safe was broken into during the burglary.

911 was called, but it is not known by whom.

With the wave of burglaries involving renowned athletes, I wonder how many players (and families) are considering strengthening the security of their homes, so as not to fall victim to this trend as well.

Let's hope Malkin can recover his rings… but don't hold your breath.


In Brief

– He is strong.

– Last power-play goal by the Islanders: Juan Soto was still free as a bird.

– Oh really?
