Jerez Preview: Can Anyone Stop the #72?

  Lately, Marco Bezzecchi is making winning look easy. With a flawless hat trick of victories in Thailand, Brazil, and the USA, the #72 has treated the early-season standings like his own personal victory lap. Next stop: Jerez. Will the win streak continue in Spain, or can anyone actually disrupt the rhythm of Bez? The "Global Takeover" in Three Acts: Thailand: To open the season in Buriram, Bezzecchi converted a dominant pole position into a Sunday masterclass. Every lap was led by him, crossing the finish line with a 5.5-second cushion over Pedro Acosta, setting the tone for a flawless start to the season. Brazil: In a treacherous race in Goiânia that was shortened due to track degradation concerns, Bez pulled an ambush at the first corner. He kept his cool on a track that felt more like a gravel pit than a circuit, bringing home back-to-back wins from second on the grid.

   Opening the scoring and giving the Coyotes a 1-0 lead, Matt Dumba scored late in the first period. Dumba struck his first goal in 30 games with a one-timer from the right point.


   It appeared Philadelphia tied it 1-1 early into the middle frame, but it had been overturned when it was reviewed and determined the Flyers were offsides in the buildup. However, Morgan Frost ended up tying the game 1-1 with a penalty shot at 15:37. Matias Maccelli put Arizona ahead 2-1 when he banked a shot off Samuel Ersson's skate from behind the net. Tying the game back up, Travis Konecny finished a 2-on-1 with Scott Laughton on a snap shot from the right circle at the bottom... Konecny recorded his 25th goal of the season. Alexander Kerfoot scored his eighth, taking a lead pass by Jason Zucker. Kerfoot locomoted the puck from forehand to backhand around Ersson, putting it in at the right post and gave Arizona a 3-2 lead.


   Jamie Drysdale tied the game 3-3 at 13:48 of the third period... Scott Laughton gave the Flyers their first lead of the night by scoring a wraparound while taking a high stick from Matt Dumba. Owen Tippett struck his 19th goal of the season with an empty-netter, calling it wraps with a 5-3 final.




Notes:

- Travis Konecny had a goal and two assists... Konecny has seven points during a four-game point streak (three goals, four assists)

- The Philadelphia Flyers have four penalty-shot goals this season... tying the NHL single-season record.

- Scott Laughton limped to the bench... he had blocked a shot by Sean Durzi during a penalty kill. Laughton got halfway down the tunnel, unable to return to the bench.

- Scott Laughton scored a goal in two games after he had scored in his previous 19... his average ice time of 15:14 is down from the 18:17 he averaged last season.
