Destroyers stole a tight, physical matchup at Quartexx Rink, beating the Legends 2-1 in a low-scoring affair that spoiled the home team's perfect start. The Legends arrived 1-0-0 while the Destroyers were chasing their first win of the young league season; the regulation victory gives the visitors an early confidence boost in the standings.

The opening period set the tone with chippy play and penalties. After a 2-minute interference call on the Legends at 15:42, Destroyers struck to open the scoring (21:39) and then pushed the lead to 2-0 later (37:12), building a cushion they would protect. The home side drew a 2-minute hooking penalty at 43:41 but both teams went just 0 for 1 on the power play, so special teams didn't tilt the game.

A late push from the Legends produced a goal at 54:22 to make it a one-goal game, but the comeback fell short as the Destroyers closed off chances and preserved the margin. The 2-1 final mirrors both clubs' season scoring profile (2.0 goals per game), and while the Legends will rue a missed power-play chance, the Destroyers leave with a road-clutch win they can build on early in the campaign.
