Buffalo Bandit Dhane Smith Could Set New Record Tonight

The Buffalo Bandits will wrap up their regular season tonight and while the game doesn't really mean anything since the Bandits have already clinched first place heading into the playoffs but a new record could be set.

Dhane Smith has a chance to set a new National Lacrosse League single-season league record for points. The current record is 137 points and was set in 2016. Currently, Smith has 135 points this season and would only need 3 points in the game tonight to set the new record.

Smith who started his career in Buffalo has spent time with the Bandits, the Rochester Rattlers, Chesapeake Bayhawks, and Chaos LC over a 10-year career. He has amassed 310 career goals and 509 assists for a total of 819 career points.

Smith will have a chance to set the record in front of the home crowd as the Bandits will wrap up their regular season at KeyBank Center against the Toronto Rock.

The Bandits have won 14 games this season and are hoping to continue their winning ways tonight and into the playoffs with the hope of winning an NLL championship.
