Fastest consecutive shorthanded goals

[SDS]

Two amazing things here. One, the Edmonton Oilers have four of the five top spots, all by different players, all in different years. That’s amazing.
 

Second, there are two people on this list that are both current Buffalo Sabres.

At #2, that looks like former Sabre Pat Hughes.

I spy Toby Rieder

That second goal was very nice. Very difficult play that looked seamless.

I wonder how many players on this list scored against either one or two goalies? My guess is most were end of game empty netters.

So, NHL Public Relations sent out that table with this caption:

Brandon Montour (0:37) scored the fastest two shorthanded goals by a defenseman in NHL history and the 12th fastest by any player to help the @BuffaloSabres snap their 18-game winless streak with a victory over the Flyers. #NHLStats

He is the top defenseman on that list, but there are only five players above him, not 11.  So, did those five have more than one, but only their fastest is listed?  Is the "consecutive" part the big differentiator (i.e., seven other forwards had two short-handed goals that were less than 37 apart, but weren't consecutive goals)?  Does it happen more in the playoffs, maybe?

Thanks for this.  Kinda cool that Gretzky and Messier did it on the same date 4 years apart.

Or Mike Bossy.

BLOODY HELL!!

The Sabre drafting has been pretty terrible for almost 50 years.  They got the first few right, but the very first draft pick was won in the first ever draft lottery.

That table is only since 1981. Don Luce, for one, not on table but scored two shorthanded goal in 23 seconds.

Why would they limit the timeframe?

It really does clearly say that.  I gotta get my eyes checked.  Time for new specs.  Getting old sucks.
