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. USA: At COTA - the most technical track they face - Bezzecchi proved he could win anywhere. He...

Matt Rempe Out of the Lineup for Tuesday Against the Winnipeg Jets, Healthy Scratch

   

 

   Matt Rempe served the four-game suspension he received due to the rough elbow to the head to Jonas Siegenthaler on the New Jersey Devils when the New York Rangers played the Devils on Monday, March 11th at the Madison Square Garden. New Jersey took the loss, and the Rangers won 3-1.




   The Rangers look forward to taking the ice against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, March 19th at the Madison Square Garden, where Rempe was expected to be making his return. However, Rempe will be left as a healthy scratch.

Without Matt Rempe during his four-game suspension, the Rangers won three out of the four games. They defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 1-0, the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-4, and the New York Islanders 5-2. New York took a 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second game Rempe was out for, breaking the possibility for a four-game win streak. With those three wins, head coach Peter Laviolette went for sticking with the same group that secured the three victories. It was assured that Matt Rempe will be playing again down the line.




"We now have 13 forwards available, and so for me, the 13 forwards here, I do want to keep them all in play," Laviolette said after the Rangers morning skate. "So I am going to make some decisions down the stretch here, just to make sure that guys are in the lineup. I do think Rempe has played well, he's brought certain things to our team, and he's played a physical role. He's played the game well and he'll be back in there."


Peter Laviolette on the current lineup: "Just coming off of the last game and the way we played, specifically how that bottom six played, just found it was best to come back with the same lineup. I am going to move guys around, it won't be because somebody's getting scratched. It'll just be because we're going to keep 13 players moving and get ourselves playoff-ready."
