Wood just wrapped up his first full NHL season with 19 goals and 13 assists (32 points) in 76 games. The 2013 fourth-round pick will be hard pressed to land a top-6 role in New Jersey but is a serviceable bottom-6 winger who brings some toughness to the Devils’ lineup.
Wood is day-to-day with an upper-body injury; won’t play Tuesday in San Jose.
Wood was hurt in Anaheim on Sunday and will not play against the Sharks. With Wood listed as day-to-day, Jesper Bratt will draw back into the Devils lineup.
Wood has been suspended two games for his hit on Vladislav Namestnikov, he will not play Sunday in Carolina.
Wood (upper-body) will return to the Devils' lineup on Thursday.

Ponikarovsky (groin), Salvador (knee) and Gionta (upper body) all look like they will play tonight

He still isn't a great fantasy option but whenever you are playing with Kovalchuk and Zajac there is opportunity to produce.
