I was curious about the proverbial one-two goal-scoring punches in the NLL over the years. So I looked around the records. It's interesting that even with 18-game seasons, we hadn't anyone crack the top 10 in recent years ... until now. Rochester's combo moves into a tie for third:
Year - Team - Players - Total
2016 - Buffalo - D. Smith and Benesch - 111
2002 - Washington - P. Gait and G. Gait - 104
2009 - Buffalo - Steenhuis and Tavares - 102
2023-24 - Rochester - Fields and Smith - 102
2008 - Philadelphia - Iannucci and Bergey - 100
2015 - Edmonton - Matthews and Greer - 97
2001 - Buffalo - Tavares and Williams - 97
2007 - Rochester - Grant and Evans - 96
2015 - Calgary - Dickson and Evans - 95
2014 - Calgary - Dobbie and Dickson - 95
It's a different story in points. We have a new record-holder (holders?) for the third straight season,as Josh Byrne and Dhane Smith reclaimed their title. Consider that they are 33 points ahead of any other combination - including themselves - and it's obvious they had a heck of a year. Smith is on the list five times.
Year - Team - Players - Total
2023-24 - Buffalo - Byrne and Smith - 269
2022-23 - Philadelphia - Jones and Resetarits - 236
2021-22 - Buffalo - Smith and Byrne - 234
2016 - Buffalo - Smith and Benesch - 229
2002 - Washington - P. Gait and G. Gait - 226
2022-23 - Buffalo - Smith and Byrne - 225
2017-18 - Saskatchewan - Matthews and Church - 223
2015 - Calgary - Evans and Dickson - 223
2015 - Buffalo - Benesch and Smith - 220
2023-24 - Rochester - Fields and Smith - 219
