PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers set a franchise record by scoring three goals in just 26 seconds in the first period on Saturday night against New Jersey.
The Flyers and Devils were already tied 1-1 in the first when the quick-fire scoring barrage started.
Matvei Michkov scored his fifth goal of the season at the 12:06 mark and Tyson Foerster beat Jake Allen on two consecutive shots at 12:15 and 12:32 for his sixth and seventh goals of the season.
The Flyers took a 4-1 lead on a night they honored Hall of Fame goalie Bernie Parent, who died two months ago at age 80.
The Flyers scored three goals in 35 seconds on a March 1, 1979, game against Boston. Behn Wilson, Blake Dunlop and Al Hill scored for the Flyers in a game that ended in a 4-4 tie.
