Most Bandits goals in three consecutive games (1992 - 2023)

Buffalo's end-of-the-season explosion of goals - 57 in three games - a few years ago prompted this check of the record book. It turned out it didn't crack the Top Ten. All of these numbers come from the first decade of the Bandits' play:

Goals - Dates
69 - 12/30/00 to 1/20/01
69 - 2/28/92 to 3/13/92 (three straight 20-goal games)
68 - 3/7/92 to 3/21/92
67 - 2/10/96 to 3/2/96
66 - 2/24/96 to 3/9/96
65 - 2/8/92 to 3/7/92 (three straight 20-goal games)
64 - 1/20/01 to 2/3/01
63 - 2/3/01 to 2/16/01
62 - 1/6/01 to 1/27/01
60 - 1/25/92 to 2/28/92

And we have to check the lowest three-game totals by the Bandits too, and here's a surprise. In a season that saw Buffalo go 14-4, the team only scored 22 goals in a three-game stretch (going 1-2 along the way). That ties the team's all-time record:

Goals  - Dates
22 - 3/18/23 to 4/1/23
22 - 3/21/14 to 3/29/14
22 - 4/12/14 to 4/19/14
23 - 4/7/07 to 4/14/07
25 - 3/23/13 to 4/6/13
25 - 3/31/07 to 4/13/07
26 - 3/15/14 to 3/23/14
26 - 3/9/13 to 3/23/13
27 - 4/9/11 to 4/23/11
27 - 1/9/10 to 1/22/10
27 -  3/2/08 to 4/12/08
