It’s a Super Saturday for the Roughnecks.
The Riggers return home to the Scotiabank Saddledome Saturday to host Lyle Thompson and the Georgia Swarm for the Marvel Super Hero Party. TICKETS
The Roughnecks have dropped two straight since opening the season with two wins and will look to get their feet back under them at the Rough House. There are a couple major milestones that could be hit this weekend so let’s get into the numbers.
100
Riggers Captain Jesse King will play in his 100th NLL game on Saturday night. As of Saturday 65 of those games will be with the Riggers.
500
King is also just two points shy of 500. With 28 points in four games this season, we could see him hit that milestone quite early Saturday.
200
Tyler Pace achieved 200 career assists last weekend with his five-assist performance. He’s now up to 13 points in three games played this season.
500
John Lintz enters this weekend’s game just seven loose-ball recoveries away from 500 in his career.
6
Curtis Dickson has six powerplay goals in four games this season. That is good for second in the NLL. He is in on pace to shatter his previous season high of 14 set in 2015.
2019
It will be the Swarm’s first visit to the Rough House since April 12, 2019. The Roughnecks picked up a 14-13 victory that night. The Roughnecks would not lose another game that season, going on to win the NLL Championship.
