Murray becomes fastest NHL goalie to reach 25 playoff wins
That didn't take long.
With the Pittsburgh Penguins' 5-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 4 on Wednesday night, goaltender Matt Murray became the fastest goalie in NHL history to reach 25 playoff wins.

Murray completed the feat in just 36 games, one quicker than Bill Durnan, Terry Sawchuk, Gerry Cheevers, Grant Fuhr, and Patrick Roy - all of whom are enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
With the blank, Murray also became the first Penguins goalie to post multiple shutouts in two different series, having also done so during last year's Stanley Cup Final against the Nashville Predators.
He also tied the record for most playoff shutouts by a goalie before their 24th birthday, with his sixth.
