2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wood has a new home in Columbus after being acquired from Colorado in June. The speedy winger was restricted to just 37 regular-season contests in 2024-25 due to injuries - he logged four goals, eight points, 60 shots on goal, 48 hits and a minus-5 rating. Wood's 11:21 of average ice time in his final campaign with the Avs was a career low, which raises concern for his prospects going forward, especially since he's dealt with numerous injuries throughout his 10-year career. Heading into his age-30 campaign, Wood should be a fourth-line staple among his new club, with 20-30 points in the range of outcomes if he can stay relatively healthy. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a six-year, $15 million contract with the Avalanche in July of 2023. Traded to the Blue Jackets in June of 2025.
Set to miss time
Wood is dealing with a left leg or knee injury and appears likely to miss some time after leaving Wednesday's game against the Devils, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Wood's injury isn't known, but head coach Dean Evason suggested the situation wasn't good. The Blue Jackets will need to make a move to have a full lineup for Saturday's game versus the Sabres, assuming their other injured players won't be ready by then.

Wood is the type of role player teams happily employ to add some grit and a little skill to their bottom six. His six-year, $15 million contract with Colorado that was signed in the summer of 2023 is evidence of the value placed on his services. From a fantasy perspective, though, you'd need to be in a particularly deep league to justify having him on your roster. Wood had nine goals, 26 points, 75 PIM and 107 hits in 74 regular-season games with the Avalanche in 2023-24. That was a fairly typical campaign for him and what you should roughly expect from him this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be dealt
Wood, who has been out of action with an upper-body injury since Nov. 29, could be traded before he returns to the lineup, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports said Thursday on Mile High Hockey Lab.
ANALYSIS
Wood still has four-plus seasons remaining on a six-year, $15 million contract. He is likely overpriced to be the Avalanche's fourth-line center, and Colorado could gauge trade interest from around the league before his return. He has two goals and an assist over 16 appearances this season.
