Evgeni Malkin's house robbed, his three Stanley Cup rings are stolen!

The home of Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Evgeni Malkin was reportedly the target of a targeted theft over the weekend.

KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh is reported that Malkin's Swickley Heights home was broken into on Saturday evening and that his three Stanley Cup championship rings have been stolen.

From KDKA:

The back door of Malkin's home was kicked in and at the time of the break-in, the alarm system and cameras happened to be down. His safe was kept open, as well. 

The Penguins had a 4 p.m. game against the Ottawa Senators that same day and the 911 call came in a few hours later. 

Allegheny County Police have confirmed that they are investigating a burglary in that area with a spokesperson saying they're looking to speak with anyone who might have any information. 

Malkin joins a growing list of prominent professional athletes who have been the target of home break-ins. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce both had their homes broken into last year. 

Investigators have reported that it appears that thieves are targeting superstar athletes for a major pay day.
