On a 5 minute PP, if they score, it starts a 2nd PP and if they score again, it counts as a 3rd, etc.
I remember once, the Jets scored 4 goals and thus ended up 4 for 5 and I thought that seemed kind of unfair - hard to imagine doing much better than scoring 4 goals, and you're still not perfect (whereas scoring on a 2 minute PP is a perfect 1 for 1)

I, like the others, never knew this. Of course, 5 minute penalties are a different beast. Overlapping penalties are the bigger issue - Flames can draw a penalty while killing, and get a 10 second powerplay at the end. They get a 0 for 1 on that power play and an identical 0-1 if they fail on a whole 5 minute major (according to what you just said).
