MILES WOOD NEWS

First point since return Wood notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.

Impact Wood earned his first point in 10 games since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him nearly two months. The 29-year-old has played on the fourth line, so it's no surprise that offense has been hard to find. For the season, he's been limited to four points, 46 shots on net, 44 PIM, 30 hits and a minus-5 rating through 26 appearances.

Impact Wood has not played since Nov. 27, missing Colorado's last 27 games while recovering from an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old winger figures to slot back into a middle-six role in Sunday's matchup with the Rangers. Wood's appeared in just 16 games this season, logging a pair of goals and three points.

Traveling with team Wood (upper body) will join the Avs on their upcoming three-game road trip and is expected to play at some point, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports Thursday.

Impact Wood has been out of action since Nov. 27 against the Golden Knights, a stretch of 26 games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Even when healthy this season, the 29-year-old winger has managed just three points in 16 games this year while averaging 12:02 of ice time. If not during an upcoming back-to-back versus the Bruins and Rangers on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, Wood will look to return in Tuesday's matchup with the Islanders.

Not close to return Wood (upper body) is not close to a return but remains on his timeline, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Impact The Avalanche have given few details on Wood's recovery, but he is considered month-to-month. As such, a return in January is not guaranteed. Wood has already missed 14 contests and is set to miss at least a few more.

Labeled month-to-month Wood (upper body) is considered month-to-month, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Wood's timeline suggests he may be out until the calendar flips to 2025. This will impact the Avalanche's forward depth, but it won't many waves in fantasy. The Avalanche have used a number of call-ups this season to cover absences at forward, so it's not clear who stands to gain the most fantasy value during Wood's recovery.

Placed on injured reserve The Avalanche placed Wood (upper body) on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Wood is on injured reserve for the second time this season. He missed seven games from Oct. 30-Nov. 13 with an upper-body injury -- but it was not announced whether or not this a recurrence of the previous injury. The 29-year-old has two goals, one assist and 30 shots on goal in 16 games. The Avalanche recalled Chris Wagner from AHL Colorado in a corresponding move.

Tallies in Thursday's win Wood scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Wood made the most of his 8:04 of ice time, which saw him scored 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.

Earns assist in return Wood (upper body) logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact 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 left Wood in a fourth-line role, 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.

Activated off IR Wood (upper body) was taken off injured reserve Thursday.

Impact 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.

Targeting Friday return 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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Wood (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Oct. 28.

Impact 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.

Impact Wood has a goal, eight PIM, 19 shots, eight hits and six blocks in 10 outings in 2024-25. Wood is joining forwards Ross Colton (foot), Jonathan Drouin (upper body), Gabriel Landeskog (knee), Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) on the shelf. The Avalanche will dress seven blueliners, including Oliver Kylington, who will serve as a forward, on Wednesday because of the long list of injuries.

Out against Bolts Wood will not be in the lineup versus Tampa Bay on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Even prior to getting hurt, Wood was struggling offensively while mired in an eight-game pointless streak. With the 29-year-old winger on the shelf, the team recalled T.J. Tynan from the minors while defenseman Oliver Kylington will play as a forward. The injuries continue to pile up for the Avs, who are also without Ross Colton (foot), Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Gabriel Landeskog (knee) to name a few.

Dealing with injury Wood (undisclosed) didn't practice Saturday due to an injury, but the Avalanche hope he can play Sunday versus Ottawa, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Impact Wood logged 14:57 of ice time in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah. He has chipped in one goal, 15 shots on net and seven hits through eight outings this season. With Ross Colton (hand) and Wood questionable for Sunday's game, Colorado may need to summon a forward from the minors.

Impact Wood suffered an injury during Wednesday's game against the Bruin and said he experienced "excruciating stomach pain like [he's] never felt before." However, he underwent testing in recent days and has been cleared to dress for Friday's game against Anaheim.

Injury not considered serious Wood (arm) isn't believed to be dealing with a significant injury and could play Friday against the Ducks, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Thursday.

Impact Wood sustained an apparent arm injury during Wednesday's game against the Bruins, but he appears to have avoided a significant injury. The 29-year-old has recorded a goal and a minus-3 rating while averaging 12:52 of ice time over his first four appearances of the season.
