We’re heading into Week 4 in the NLL and the Roughnecks are off to a strong 2-0 start.
The return of Dane Dobbie and Curtis Dickson has been a perfect fit for the Riggers new high-flying offence as they have put up some big numbers in their first two games. Let’s take a look at the numbers as we head into another bye week before the home opener on Dec. 28 TICKETS.
552
Dobbie’s hot start has him one goal away from 552 in his career which would vault him into fifth all-time in NLL goalscoring, passing Dan Dawson. Dobbie has 13 goals in his first two games back with the Riggers.
15
Roughnecks captain Jesse King has dished the ball all over the floor so far this season. His 15 assists are tied for most in the league with Buffalo’s Dhane Smith.
17
Dobbie and King are tied for third in NLL scoring with 17 points each. Dobbie has 13 goals and four assists while King has two goals and 15 assists.
1,153
Rounding out the list of potential Dobbie milestones when the team is back on the floor Dec. 28: he needs just two points to pass Shawn Williams for 10th all-time (1,153).
9
The Roughnecks offence has been paced by a very strong powerplay. Of their 31 goals scored this year, nine have come a man-up. The nine powerplay goals are tied for most in the NLL with San Diego.
