Biggest Second-Half Comebacks in Bandits' History (2005-2023)

Some halftime leads weren't safe during the 2022-23 season. Buffalo erased four margins of at least two goals, and couldn't hold a three-goal edge over Rochester.

Let's look at the top comebacks from halftime deficits by the Bandits first - and I now have added playoff games to the mix. Notice the rallies against Philadelphia:

Goals - Date - Opponent - Final Score
6 - 1/19/18 - @Saskatchewan - 16-15o
6 - 2/20/09 - @Toronto - 17-16o
4 - 1/10/14 - Toronto - 12-10
4 - 5/5/13 - @Toronto - 7-6
3 - 4/14/17 - @Toronto - 13-8
3 - 3/16/12 - @Toronto - 21-14
3 - 2/16/08 - Minnesota - 16-14
3 - 4/9/05 - @Calgary - 14-9
3 - 4/16/05 - San Jose - 13-10
3 - 1/27/23 - @Philadelphia - 13-9
3 - 2/18/23 - Philadelphia - 13-12
3 - 5/1/10- @Toronto - 13-11x

Now, the blown leads:

4 - 3/1/13 - Philadelphia - 11-10o
3 - 1/20/23 - @Rochester - 15-12
