GAMES TO WATCH

Northeaste­rn at Rocky Hill co-op (Champions), Wednesday, 5 p.m.: At this writing, Rocky Hill sits just on the right side of the Division III playoff cut line. The Shamrocks sit a couple of games to the other side of that line but have three games left.

Wilton at BBD (Danbury Ice), Wednesday, 5:30 p.m.: At this writing, BBD sits just on the right side of the Division III playoff cutline (but had a game Tuesday night). Wilton sat one point behind the IceCats on the other side of that line.

Darien at Notre Dame-West Haven (Bennett), Wednesday, 8 p.m.: The second rematch of the 2022 Division I championsh­ip game. Notre Dame won 3-2 in their first meeting late last month. The Blue Wave and Green Knights both had stunning losses to rivals in the past week and a half but both bounced back with victories.

Guilford at Cheshire (Astorino), Wednesday, 8 p.m.: The SCC/SWC Division II rivals have taken different routes to similar records: Guilford started 7-0 and 8-1-1 and has been up and down since, while the Rams have won eight out of their past nine with a handful of impressive victories in there.

Wethersfie­ld at North Haven (Northford), Saturday, 8 p.m.:

Rematch Week continues (unfortunat­ely Newington and Conard finished their season series a couple of weeks ago) with the 2022 Division II ttle-game replay. Both had long winning streaks undone this month. Both have come back with solid wins against solid Division II teams. Simsbury at Northwest Catholic (ISCC), Saturday, 6:45 p.m.: There’s only so much you can do in a league with five Division II teams, but that leaves only half these teams’ schedules for Division I foes. No. 6 Simsbury has handled them better than co-No. 8 Northwest Catholic, including an 8-4 win in their first meeting.

FCIAC Prelims, Saturday: St. Joseph at New Canaan (Darien Ice), 2 p.m.; Greenwich at Ridgefield (Winter Garden), 8:30 p.m.: Darien and Fairfield have byes to next Wednesday’s semifinals. The final is March 4.
