Most/fewest power plays in a Bandits game (2007 to 2024)

It's rare to see a team take a dozen power plays in a game these days. Most of the Buffalo team records in that area were set back in the late 2000s, although the numbers only go back to 2007. 

Here's the most by the Bandits in a game:

No. - Opponent - Date
15 - Philadelphia - 2/24/07
13 - Philadelphia - 3/1/08
11 - @Toronto - 1/29/11
11 - Portland - 3/21/09
11 - @New York - 2/10/08

Now the least by the Bandits in a game:

No. - Opponent - Date
1 - @Rochester - 12/11/21
1 - @Colorado - 1/25/20
1 - Georgia - 4/22/17
1 - Toronto - 1/23/16
1 - @Rochester - 1/31/15
1 - Minnesota - 3/8/14
1 - Edmonton - 3/23/13
1 - Boston - 4/16/11
1 - Toronto - 4/10/10
1 - @Georgia - 1/7/23
1 - Rochester - 2/4/23
1 - @Halifax - 3/3/23
1 - @Albany - 4/29/23
1 - Rochester - 2/3/24
1 - Albany - 2/24/24

Let's move to most by opponents in a game:

No. - Opponent - Date
16 - Toronto - 2/2/07
14 - Toronto - 3/31/12
14 - New York - 1/19/08
13 - @Minnesota - 1/28/12
12 - Vancouver - 3/29/14
12 - Minnesota - 2/28/09

Then, the least:

No. - Opponent - Date
0 - @Toronto - 2/9/20
1 - @Georgia - 2/9/19
1 - @New England - 4/26/15
1 - Toronto - 2/14/09
1 - Philadelphia - 3/12/22

Finally, the most by both teams combined:

No. - Opponent - Date
23 - Philadelphia - 2/24/07
22 - New York - 1/19/08
22 - @New York - 2/10/08
21 - Vancouver - 1/13/18
21 - Minnesota - 2/28/09
21 - Toronto - 2/2/07

And the least - note that a Buffalo-Toronto playoff game in 2022 had one power play combined:

No. - Opponent - Date
3 - @Toronto - 2/9/20
3 - @Colorado - 1/25/20
3 - Toronto - 1/23/16
3 - Minnesota - 3/8/14
3 - Philadelphia - 3/12/22
