• Avalanche's Miles Wood: Tallies in Thursday's win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Wood scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Capitals. Wood made the most of his 8:04 of ice time, which saw him score the game-winning goal at 3:29 of the third period. The winger has two points, eight shots and five hits over three contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. Overall, Wood has three points, 27 shots, 13 hits and 10 PIM through 13 appearances. His upside is limited in a fourth-line role, but he could always play his way into a better spot.

• Avalanche's Miles Wood: Earns assist in return

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Wood (upper body) logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals. Wood was in a third-line role prior to his injury, but the simultaneous returns of Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) and Jonathan Drouin (upper body) have the Avalanche at their healthiest yet this season. That resulted in Wood playing on the fourth line, where he logged a meager 7:53 of ice time. Wood is up to two points, 20 shots on net, 10 hits and eight PIM over 11 contests, but his fantasy value will be limited if he can't carve out at least middle-six minutes moving forward.

  Wood (upper body) was taken off injured reserve Thursday. Wood will return to action against the Capitals on Friday after having missed the last seven games due to his upper-body injury. The 29-year-old winger has managed just one point in 10 games this year and is currently stuck in an eight-game goal drought. With Wood back in the lineup, he should slot into a bottom-six role for the Avs.

• Avalanche's Miles Wood: Targeting Friday return

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Wood (upper body) won't be an option against the Kings on Tuesday but is hoping to play in Friday's clash with Washington, Adrian Hernandez of Mile High Hockey reports. Wood won't be the only reinforcement for the Avs, as they are expected to also get back Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) on Friday. Unless the team is going to roll with eight blueliners Tuesday, Colorado will likely need to bring up a forward or two from the minors before puck drop. For his part, Wood figures to challenge for a middle-six role once up to full speed but could start out on the third line.

• Avalanche's Miles Wood: Placed on injured reserve

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Wood (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Oct. 28. Wood sustained an upper-body injury against Chicago on Oct. 28 and was expected to miss approximately 7-10 days. As a result, it isn't very surprising to see him officially land on injured reserve, especially considering how many injuries the Avalanche are dealing with. Ivan Ivan, Nikolai Kovalenko and Nikita Prishchepov were called up by the Avs on Monday and should help to fill in while Wood is unavailable.
