The Roughnecks are in need of a win as they host Albany in their second of three straight home games Friday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome. TICKETS.
We saw Zach Currier break 1,100 loose balls and a 54-save performance from Christian Del Bianco in last weekend’s 7-6 loss to the visiting Seals.
Let’s take a look at some of the big numbers heading into Week 17.
4
Riggers defender Reece Callies forced four turnovers last weekend which is a single game career best for him. He has nine CTO’s on the season, just two back of tying his high of 11 set in 2022.
288
Tyler Pace is just 12 points away from 300 in his career. He is averaging 4.76 points per game this season.
441
Riggers captain Jesse King is nine points away from 450. He is currently averaging 5.84 points per game.
538
Christian Del Bianco is having another outstanding season. He is second in the NLL in saves with 538, just behind Nick Rose who has 544 but with one more game played. He is also first in the league in goalie assists (15), fourth in the league in goals-against average (10.57) and save percentage (.795).
50
Riggers forward Tanner Cook will play in his 50th career NLL game on Friday and is looking for his second-straight 50-point season as he enters this weekend with 49 this year.
