Most goals without a power-play score - 2007 - 2026 (NLL)

When I worked in the NHL, I used to like to look at who piled up some goals without the benefit of a power-play goal. I always figured that such players represented untapped offensive talent.

Here's the list of the leaders in the NLL from 2025-26:

Name - Team - Goals
Adam Poitras - Las Vegas - 34
Chris Boushy - Toronto - 28
Marcus Klarich - Vancouver - 21
Brock Haley - Saskatchewan - 19
Michael Sowers - Philadelphia - 14

Sam Firth - Ottawa - 13
Richie Connell - Georgia - 12
Sam English - Toronto - 11
Jordan MacIntosh - Georgia - 10
Stephen Keogh - Halifax - 10 

And here are the leaders since 2007, as Poitras smashes the "record" by a huge margin: 

Name - Team - Goals
Adam Poitras - Las Vegas - 2025-26 - 34
Chris Boushy - Toronto - 2025-26 - 28
Ryan Lee - Colorado - 2018-19 - 27
Chris Boushy - Halifax - 2021-22 - 26
Kevin Buchanan - New England - 2017 - 25
Dan Dawson - Rochester - 2013 - 23
Matthew Dinsdale - Saskatchewan - 2018 - 23
Bill McGlone - Chicago - 2007 - 22
Zed Williams - Georgia - 2018-19 - 22
Mike Robinson - Halifax - 2024-25 - 22

Kevin Buchanan - New England - 2015 - 21
Garrett Thul - Philadelphia - 2014 - 21
Josh Medeiros - Panther City - 2022-23 - 21
Marcus Kalrich - Vancouver - 2025-26 - 21
Joe Walters - Rochester - 2015 - 20
Matthew Dinsdale - Saskatchewan - 2018-19 - 20
Miles Thompson - Georgia - 2016 - 19
Bill McGlone - Philadelphia - 2010 - 19
Geoff Snider - Philadelphia - 2010 - 19
Josh Sims - Colorado - 2007 - 19
Nathan Grenon - Panther City - 2021-22 - 19
Sam LeClair - Philadelphia - 2023-24 - 19
Brock Haley - Saskatchewan - 2025-26 - 19

Most Bandits goals in three consecutive games (1992 - 2026)

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. Buffalo had a bad January, and cracked the top 10 as it scored nine goals in three straight losses:

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
27 - 1/10/26 to 1/31/26
