Memphis Night Train (1–2–1) earn their first win, overcoming an early deficit to beat Phoenix Scorch (1–3–0) 4–1 in XHL scoring points. Phillippe Morphis scores twice, and Ian Novello supplies the two-point goal that turns the game.
Walker Prowell puts Phoenix ahead at minute 4 of the first period. Memphis must wait until minute 7 of the second for Morphis to level, from Tobias Vehvilainen. Novello’s double-value finish at minute 16, assisted by Dave Irons, takes the Night Train into the second intermission leading 3–1.
