PHT Morning Skate: Wild, Blue Jackets score goals two seconds apart (Video)

PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

-- The Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets tied an NHL record by scoring goals two seconds apart on Tuesday. Nick Foligno scored for Columbus at the 19:44 mark of the third period, and Mikael Granlund followed that up for Minnesota on the ensuing faceoff, scoring into an empty net at 19:46. Below is a brief explanation on the more technical aspect of the record:
