Most/fewest power plays in a Bandits game (2007 to 2026)

I can't say I noticed that the Bandits had no power plays in a 2026 game against Las Vegas. It turns out that the Bandits hadn't done that since at least 2007, which is as far as the records go back. Wow. 

Except ... Buffalo did it again a couple of weeks later.  

Here's the most PPs by the Bandits in a regular-season 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, with a new co-leader:

No. - Opponent - Date
0 - Las Vegas - 1/3/26
0 - Ottawa - 1/16/26
1 - 19 times including:
   Rochester - 4/11/26
   @Saskatchewan 3/28/26

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
0 - @Colorado - 4/5/25
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 - with the 2026 Vegas game joining the list. Note that a Buffalo-Toronto playoff game in 2022 had one power play combined:

No. - Opponent - Date
3 - Las Vegas - 1/3/26
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
3 - Colorado - 4/5/25
