What to know about Bandits vs. Black Bears The Bandits are looking to complete the hat trick this season by winning their third straight NLL Cup, a feat that has only been accomplished once before in league history (Rochester Knighthawks, 2012-14). They started off on the right foot last week, beating Rochester 15-7 in the opener, pulling away with eight goals in the fourth quarter. Dhane Smith and Kyle Buchanan scored three goals apiece while Smith also added eight assists, tying him for second in the league despite playing one fewer game than most other teams. (The NLL single-game assist record is 13 by Buffalo's Mark Steenhuis in 2009.) Ottawa (1-0) beat Toronto 11-5 in its only game this season behind three goals and three assists from Jacob Dunbar and five points from Jeff Teat. Larson Sundown, a Basom native who starred at Akron High School and won the Tom Borelli Memorial Award, signed a three-year contract with Ottawa this summer after posting 74 points in two seasons with the New York Riptide. He had an assist in the opener.
