The #12/13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team is coming off of another split series last weekend, and now welcomes the Penn State Nittany Lions to South Bend for a weekend series. Notre Dame remains fourth in the Big Ten conference standings. They cannot move down this weekend and will need a sweep and some help to move up, so chances are they will remain exactly where they are. This is still a big matchup though, as only six regular season games remain after this weekend, with Notre Dame currently sitting right on the cusp of an NCAA Tournament bid, currently sitting 12th in the PairWise rankings.
