Indianapolis Velocity (4–0–0) survive a New York rally and beat New York Gargoyles (2–1–1) 4–3 under the XHL pregame tiebreak rule. Regulation ends 3–3 in scoring points. Indianapolis’s earlier target-contest victory supplies the deciding team point; no player receives a goal or point for that tiebreak award.

Liam Chlapik opens with a two-point goal at minute 10 of the first, assisted by Jake Imai. New York answers with three goals in the second: Aaron Sandstrom at minute 9, Garry Justice at minute 14 and Sandstrom again at minute 16. The Gargoyles lead 3–2 at the second break.

Hugo Hagglund equalises at minute 8 of the third, assisted by Steve Avendano and Kyle Shaddix. No further regulation scoring follows. Indianapolis stays unbeaten despite New York’s 3–2 edge in physical goals: Chlapik’s double-value goal makes regulation level, then the pregame edge settles the final.
