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 • 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.

Out 7-10 days Wood is set to miss the next 7-10 days because of an upper-body injury, per Ryan Boulding of NHL.com on Wednesday.

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.

Ready to go Sunday Wood (undisclosed) will play Sunday against the Senators, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post 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.

Good to go for Friday Wood (upper body) is good to go for Friday's game against the Ducks, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

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. Over his first four appearances of the season, he's logged a goal and a minus-3 rating while averaging 12:52 of ice time.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Suffers injury Wednesday Wood appeared to suffer an arm injury in Wednesday's game versus the Bruins, but there was no update on his status after the contest, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Impact The Avalanche's injury list is growing, with Wood joining Jonathan Drouin (upper body) as injured forwards since the season started. An update on Wood's status should be available prior to Friday's home game versus the Ducks.

Tallies in Saturday's loss Wood scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Wood remained on the third line even with fellow left wing Jonathan Drouin (upper body) out of action. It's a role Wood does well in -- he has finished between 23 and 27 points in each of the last five seasons in which he's played at least 50 games. He also topped 100 hits in three of those years. That kind of production makes Wood an option in deep fantasy formats.

Returns to action Wood (illness) was back in the lineup in Sunday's 6-3 preseason loss to Utah.

Impact Wood opened the scoring in the contest at the 13:12 mark of the first period during a Colorado power play. He accounted for nine goals and 26 points over 74 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Wood is expected to occupy a bottom-six role for the Avalanche again in 2024-25 but could move up the depth chart if Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) is unavailable for the start of the year.

Not playing Friday Wood (illness) won't play in Friday's preseason game versus the Stars, per the NHL media site.
