Blink and you might have missed the Pittsburgh Penguins jump to a 4-0 advantage over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon.

The Penguins tied the NHL playoff record for the fastest two goals with two tallies just five seconds apart. After Evgeni Malkin wired a one-timer past Brian Elliott on a 4-on-3 power play at the 13:12 mark of the second period, Brian Dumoulin scored just five seconds later after taking a Sidney Crosby pass in the slot and wristing a shot glove side on Elliott.

The Penguins tied the record previously set by the Detroit Red Wings back during the 1965 semifinals. It also marks the third straight game between the Penguins and Flyers that has seen at least one club tally four goals.
