Avalanche's Miles Wood: Set to miss out Saturday
Rotowire
Wood (lower body) is not expected to return to the lineup for Saturday's matchup with Winnipeg, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
Wood will miss his third straight game due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old center was bogged down in a 23-game goal drought during which he managed four helpers and 61 shots. With Woods' continued absence, Yakov Trenin figures to remain in a fourth-line role. Given the quick turnaround, it seems unlikely Wood will be available against Vegas on Sunday.

Rotowire
Wood logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Wood set up the second of Logan O'Connor's two goals in the first period. With two goals and four assists over five games since he returned from an illness, Wood has handled his newfound second-line role quite well. The winger is up to 18 points, 91 shots on net, 49 hits, 59 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 44 appearances. The 28-year-old isn't the most consistent scorer, but he could provide value in deeper fantasy formats.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Two helpers in win
Rotowire
Wood logged two assists and one shot on net over 17:34 of ice time in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.
Wood, who had the primary assists on goals by Nathan MacKinnon and Logan O'Connor, is scorching since returning from the flu. He has points (two goals, three assists) in three straight games as part of a reconfigured second line. The unit of Wood, Ross Colton and Logan O'Connor accounted for six goals in those three games and have have filled an offensive void due to Valeri Nichushkin's personal leave from the team. Artturi Lehkonen (neck), who slotted in at wing on the second line prior to his injury, appears to be ready to return Wednesday against the Capitals, but it's doubtful head coach Jared Bednar would break up the current iteration of the second line.

Rotowire
Wood scored a goal on three shots and had an assist in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Senators. He also blocked two shots and had one hit over 15:30 of ice time.
Wood, who returned from an illness that forced him to miss five games, scored early in the third period to make it a 4-4 game. He accepted Logan O'Connor's pass, moved around Vladimir Tarasenko, then went backhand-forehand. Wood later returned the favor and, from his knees, assisted on O'Connor's tally to make it 6-4. Colorado has relied on its stars all season, but they got relief Tuesday when all four lines scored. The Avs will look to Wood for more offense after Valeri Nichushkin (personal) was added to the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program earlier this week.

Rotowire
Wood (illness) will not be in the lineup against Vegas on Wednesday, Colleen Flynn of The Hockey News reports.
Wood will be out of action for his third straight game due to the flu. With just one point in his last eight outings, the 28-year-old winger's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Snaps point drought
Rotowire
Wood logged an assist and two shots on net over 15:31 of ice time in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over Dallas.
It's not often Wood is on the ice with top-line center Nathan MacKinnon, but that's what happened in the first period. As Wood's shift was coming to an end, he skated into the Stars' zone and found Nathan MacKinnon, who went backhand through the five hole of Scott Wedgewood. The helper snapped Wood's seven-game point drought. He has six goals, six assists, 80 shots, 44 hits, 16 blocks and 57 PIM through 39 contests.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Wood scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.
Wood's first-period tally stretched the Avalanche's lead to 3-0 and was ultimately the game-winning goal. The winger is showing a little more life on offense with a goal in two of the last three contests. He's at six tallies, five assists, 63 shots on net, 28 PIM, 32 hits and a minus-2 rating through 31 outings overall. Wood is unlikely to see much more than a middle-six role this season, and his offense isn't at a level to be useful in most fantasy formats.
