Police: Penguins center Evgeni Malkin's 3 Stanley Cup championship rings found in his home
Allegheny County Police reported that Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin’s Stanley Cup Championship rings, previously thought to have been stolen in a burglary this month, have been located inside his Sewickley Heights residence.
Police responded to the burglary report along Blackburn Road about 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
Earlier that night, the Penguins lost 5-0 to the Ottawa Senators at PPG Paints Arena, their home arena in Pittsburgh.
Police on Wednesday said the rings were stolen. They changed that report Thursday evening to say the rings were found in his home.
Malkin released a statement Thursday evening about the ordeal via the team’s social media.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the Allegheny County Police, the Sewickley Heights Police and the entire Penguins organization,” Malkin 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.”
