Avalanche's Miles Wood: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Wood scored a goal on three shots, logged three hits and added two PIM in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Jets in Game 1.
Wood has a goal and two assists over three contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The goal was his first since Feb. 13. The 28-year-old winger was right in line with his career norms this season, earning 26 points, 167 shots on net and 107 hits over 74 appearances in a middle-six role.

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.

Wood set up the second of Logan O'Connor's two goals in the first period.

The 28-year-old isn't the most consistent scorer, but he could provide value in deeper fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Wood (illness) will not be in the lineup against Vegas on Wednesday, Colleen Flynn of The Hockey News reports.

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.
