Wood (upper body) is considered month-to-month, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Wood's timeline suggests he may be out until the calendar flips to 2025. His absence will impact Colorado's forward depth, but it won't make many waves in fantasy. The Avalanche have made several call-ups to cover forward absences this season, making it unclear who will gain the most fantasy value during Wood's recovery.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Avalanche placed Wood (upper body) on injured reserve Thursday.
Wood is on injured reserve for the second time this season. He missed seven games from Oct. 30-Nov. 13 with an upper-body injury -- but it was not announced whether or not this a recurrence of the previous injury. The 29-year-old has two goals, one assist and 30 shots on goal in 16 games. The Avalanche recalled Chris Wagner from AHL Colorado in a corresponding move.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Earns assist in return
Rotowire
Wood (upper body) logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
Wood was in a third-line role prior to his injury, but the simultaneous returns of Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) and Jonathan Drouin (upper body) have the Avalanche at their healthiest yet this season. That resulted in Wood playing on the fourth line, where he logged a meager 7:53 of ice time. Wood is up to two points, 20 shots on net, 10 hits and eight PIM over 11 contests, but his fantasy value will be limited if he can't carve out at least middle-six minutes moving forward.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Activated off IR
Rotowire
Wood (upper body) was taken off injured reserve Thursday.
Wood will return to action against the Capitals on Friday after having missed the last seven games due to his upper-body injury. The 29-year-old winger has managed just one point in 10 games this year and is currently stuck in an eight-game goal drought. With Wood back in the lineup, he should slot into a bottom-six role for the Avs.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Targeting Friday return
Rotowire
Wood (upper body) won't be an option against the Kings on Tuesday but is hoping to play in Friday's clash with Washington, Adrian Hernandez of Mile High Hockey reports.
Wood won't be the only reinforcement for the Avs, as they are expected to also get back Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) on Friday. Unless the team is going to roll with eight blueliners Tuesday, Colorado will likely need to bring up a forward or two from the minors before puck drop. For his part, Wood figures to challenge for a middle-six role once up to full speed but could start out on the third line.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Wood (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Oct. 28.
Wood sustained an upper-body injury against Chicago on Oct. 28 and was expected to miss approximately 7-10 days. As a result, it isn't very surprising to see him officially land on injured reserve, especially considering how many injuries the Avalanche are dealing with. Ivan Ivan, Nikolai Kovalenko and Nikita Prishchepov were called up by the Avs on Monday and should help to fill in while Wood is unavailable.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Out against Bolts
Rotowire
Wood will not be in the lineup versus Tampa Bay on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Even prior to getting hurt, Wood was struggling offensively while mired in an eight-game pointless streak. With the 29-year-old winger on the shelf, the team recalled T.J. Tynan from the minors, while defenseman Oliver Kylington will play as a forward. The injuries continue to pile up for the Avs, who are also without Ross Colton (foot), Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Gabriel Landeskog (knee) to name a few.

Rotowire

Wood logged 14:57 of ice time in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah. He has chipped in one goal, 15 shots on net and seven hits through eight outings this season. With Ross Colton (hand) and Wood questionable for Sunday's game, Colorado may need to summon a forward from the minors.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Tallies in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Wood scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Wood remained on the third line even with fellow left winger Jonathan Drouin (upper body) out of action. It's a role Wood does well in -- he has finished between 23 and 27 points in each of the last five seasons in which he's played at least 50 games. He also topped 100 hits in three of those years. That kind of production makes Wood an option in deep fantasy formats.

Avalanche's Miles Wood: Returns to action
Rotowire
Wood (illness) was back in the lineup in Sunday's 6-3 preseason loss to Utah.
Wood opened the scoring in the contest at the 13:12 mark of the first period during a Colorado power play. He accounted for nine goals and 26 points over 74 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Wood is expected to occupy a bottom-six role for the Avalanche again in 2024-25 but could move up the depth chart if Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) is unavailable for the start of the year.

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.
