Cuddle up with that special someone this Valentine’s weekend; we’ve eight National Lacrosse League matchups on the docket for week 12 of the 2024-25 NLL regular season. They’re spread across all three days of the weekend, with doubleheaders galore. Nothing says “romantic vibes” like doubleheaders.
I will be drinking an obscene amount of coffee this weekend to get all the stats done. I fully expect to be so jittery that my molecules oscillate at an uber-caffeinated level that taps into the Void That Binds and allows me to farcast anywhere and anywhen; hear my plea, oh UI.
Here’s how this works: I’ll tell you the matchups, the results of their five most recent contests (if applicable), top three scorers on each team, probable starting netminders, and team offensive and defensive shift stats as slash lines (S%/SOG%/E%) (offense on the left, defense on the right). All stats are based off my work for this site.
This is intended to be bare bones, quick and easy content to get you caught up before the weekend’s games. No analysis or storylines, just the stats.
If you’re in the US, all games are available on ESPN+; if you’re in Canada, you can catch the games on the TSN app or NLLplus.com.
Here’s what’s ahead.
