GAMES TO WATCH

Notre Dame-Fairfield at Simsbury (ISCC), Wednesday, 3:40 p.m.: The cavalry is just on the other side of the hill for the Lancers, adding a forward line’s worth of depth for the second half after this game.

Notre Dame-West Haven at Xavier (Wesleyan), Wednesday, 6 p.m.: The

Green Knights try to rebound from their first loss against another top-four team, Xavier, which has won three games in overtime already this year.

Hand at Sheehan (Choate), Wednesday, 7 p.m.: One of the top teams in Division II meets one of the top teams in Division III, a rematch of a D-III semifinal last spring that Sheehan won big.

New Canaan at Simsbury (ISCC), Saturday, 6:20 p.m.: While New Canaan has gotten a little roll going, Simsbury has been competitive against some top teams and won the games it needed to win. This week could be a good test for the Trojans.

Branford at Watertown/Pomperaug (Taft), Saturday, 7:30 p.m.: This was a huge one a year ago, but graduation hit W/P hard. The Indians have still managed to upset Cheshire this season, so we’ll see.

Fairfield Prep at Mount Saint Charles (R.I.) (Dunkin’ Donuts Center, Providence, R.I.), Sunday, 5:30 p.m.: Or around that time, since they’ll be following the 3:05 AHL game between Springfield and the Providence Bruins.
