Biggest Difference in Goals Scored by Halves (2012 to 2023-24)

On January 13, 2024, the Bandits and Knighthawks piled up 20 goals in the first half. Then, in the second half, they only combined for eight. It was sort of like watching a different sport. 

Is that a big difference as these things go? I needed to find out. Let's go back a ways and see how it compares (overtime does not count in the second half), and it turns out you have to go back to 2016 to find a bigger difference:

No. (1st - 2nd) - Opponent - Date

13 (7-20) - Vancouver - 3/25/16

12 (20 - 8) - @Rochester - 1/13/24

12 (18-6) - Philadelphia - 4/7/12

11 (20-9) - @ New England - 4/26/15

10 (10 - 20) - Rochester - 1/31/20 

10 (10 - 20) - @New England - 2/19/17

9 (6 - 15) - Toronto - 4/22/23 

9 (5 - 14) - @Toronto - 5/21/22 (Playoff Game)

9 (9 - 18) - @New England - 3/23/18

9 (7 - 16) - New England - 4/4/15

9 (14- 5) - Minnesota - 4/12/14

9 (15 - 6) - @Rochester - 5/17/14 (Playoff Game)

Bandits' Margin of Result by Year
