Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin is the latest athlete to have his home burglarized.

Malkin’s three Stanley Cup rings were among the items taken in the robbery, per KDKA-TV.

The 38-year-old’s home was broken into on the day the Penguins were playing the Ottawa Senators.

Malkin’s Penguins lost 5-0 to the Senators on Saturday, but the star forward didn’t play due to an upper-body injury. 

"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."

KDKA-TV also reported that Malkin’s home security system was down during the robbery and that his safe was left open.

Malkin has been in the NHL for 19 seasons, spending them all with the Penguins. He won the Hart Trophy for the league’s most valuable player in 2011-2012, and has 1,328 points (506 goals, 822 assists) in his career. 

LUKA DONČIĆ'S HOME BURGLARIZED, ADDING TO LIST OF TARGETED HOMES OF HIGH-PROFILE ATHLETES

The FBI warned professional sports leagues late last month that South American organized criminal groups were behind a string of home invasions, according to ABC News. The report said the groups conduct "physical and technical surveillance" to prep for the burglaries. They use social media to get an idea of where and when a person will be gone from their home, and then they make their mark.

Both the NFL and NBA sent memos to teams about home security measures in November following the break-ins of some of their athletes' homes.

Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had their homes broken into in October.

While the Cincinnati Bengals were playing against the Dallas Cowboys in December, quarterback Joe Burrow’s home was targeted. 

In the NBA, Minnesota Timberwolves Mike Conley Jr.’s home was burglarized on Sept. 15 while he was attending a Minnesota Vikings game. 

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis had his home broken into on Nov. 2. 

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić's home was burglarized at the end of December.

Deion Sanders seemed to shoo away any chatter of him coaching the Dallas Cowboys, but one of his former teammates is not buying it just yet.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer, who currently coaches at the University of Colorado, all but confirmed reports that he and Jerry Jones have had dialogue about the open position in Dallas.

Sanders told ESPN the opportunity is "intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community."

However, Sanders' former teammate, Daryl Johnston, said the chances of him heading to the Lone Star State are "legit."

It is not as easy as it sounds, considering Sanders said last week that he would only consider coaching in the NFL if he were to team up with his sons.

"I think if Deion is going to come here, because he seems to have his plan in place - he would love to coach his son, Shedeur, in the NFL. I don’t know if that happens in Dallas," Johnston told OutKick's "Hot Mic." "It’s gonna take a lot of different things to happen."

Johnston also mentioned something rather important - they already have Dak Prescott.

"To me, it would not be a smart thing to do. I think you have to have that conversation up front and go ‘Listen, I know what your plan is, but we just don’t see that working out. So if you’re gonna come here, we really don’t see how Shedeur is gonna be a part of this journey moving forward,'" Johnston said. "You gotta get all that talked about. I just think it’s not good for the franchise moving forward to try to make a move that puts you in a position to bring in Shedeur as your quarterback when you’ve got Dak Prescott."

Shedeur, of course, could very well be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, while Dallas currently owns the 12th spot.

Deion Sanders played for the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999. He was a part of the organization’s last Super Bowl run – in 1995. He was a Pro Bowler in four of those five seasons.

The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy earlier Monday after five seasons.
