Wood posted four goals, four assists, 48 hits, and a minus-5 rating in 37 regular-season games this year with the Avalanche. He also played in one post-season game, where he had zero points and a minus-3 rating.
Wood was selected by the Devils with the 100th overall pick and spent his first eight NHL seasons in New Jersey. In 402 games as a Devil, the 6-foot-2 forward recorded 78 goals, 70 assists, 148 points, and 486 hits. His time with the Devils ended during the 2023 off-season when he signed a six-year, $15 million contract with the Avalanche in free agency. Now, he is back in the Metropolitan Division but as a Blue Jacket.
