Sharks, Penguins combine for fastest 4 goals to start Stanley Cup Final game

History has been made.

A record-setting whirlwind of offensive activity from both the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins kicked off Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.

The two clubs combined for the fastest four goals to start a game in Stanley Cup Final history, with each team scoring a pair within the opening 5:06.

The previous record for fastest 4 goals to start a #StanleyCup Final game was 6:51, set by @penguins (2) & Blackhawks (2) in Game 4 in 1992.

The Sharks jumped out to an early two-goal lead thanks to Brent Burns and Logan Couture scores, while Evgeni Malkin's early power-play goal and Pittsburgh's 'HBK' line - and Carl Hagelin, more specifically - tied the game at two shortly thereafter.
