Danglers held off a late rally to beat the Destroyers 2-1 at Quartexx Rink on Sept. 19, 2026, a tidy early-season victory that gives the visitors some breathing room in the standings. Both clubs entered the game 1-1, but the Danglers' two quick strikes in the opening period were enough to improve their position in the early league race.

All of the scoring came in the opening period. The Danglers struck first at 24:24 and doubled their lead at 30:38, building a 2-0 cushion. The Destroyers answered at 46:52 to make it interesting, but the hosts couldn't find the equalizer over the final two periods as defenses tightened and chances dried up.

The result underscores the Danglers' ability to cash in early — a trait consistent with their 2.67 goals-per-game profile — while the Destroyers, averaging just 1.67 goals, will need to generate more offense moving forward. The win gives the Danglers momentum heading into the next stretch of league play; the Destroyers will look to bounce back and better match their defensive work with more scoring.
