I have never seen it happen, but I suppose if you scored at the last second, you would end up 1 for 1, but if there is even a second left, you go 1 for 2.

It is an interesting statistical quirk.

Edit: just checked the game sheet and the Flames were officially 50% (1 for 2) on the PK, with Pospisil being the only penalties called.
Oh! That makes sense! Okay, I see what you're saying now.
