Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin's home was burglarized on Saturday, the same day the team hosted the Ottawa Senators.
The Penguins confirmed the burglary of Malkin's home in Sewickley, a Pittsburgh suburb, but declined to get into detail and cited the police's ongoing investigation.
“We are working closely with local authorities and team security,” the team said in a statement late Tuesday night."Malkin has requested that his privacy be respected during this time and we will have no further comment on the matter.”Malkin did not play during Pittsburgh's 5-0 loss to Ottawa on Saturday due to an upper-body injury. He returned from a four-game absence on Tuesday night and had an assist in a 4-2 loss to Seattle.
KDKA also reported that Malkin’s home security system was down during the robbery and that his safe was left open.
