Absent from morning skate Wood is dealing with an illness, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Impact While Wood's status is in question for Tuesday's contest in Detroit, it's unclear if he would have been in the lineup, as head coach Rick Bowness has decided to shake up the team's forward group. Either way, Wood can be considered a game-time call for this crucial matchup in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Gets skunked in March Wood was held off the scoresheet for his eighth game in a row in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Wood was scratched nine times in March, but playing time is likely to open up for him while Dmitri Voronkov (hand) and Mathieu Olivier (upper body) are out. Through 47 outings this season, Wood has 14 points, 65 shots on net, 57 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-5 rating while mainly filling a bottom-six role. Fantasy managers don't need to track his progress at this stage of the season.

Notches helper Saturday Wood registered an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blues.

Impact This was Wood's first point in three games since he returned from a leg injury that kept him out for nearly all of January. The 30-year-old winger is now at 13 points, 52 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-6 rating across 35 appearances. Wood has been a bottom-six regular when healthy and looks set to get back to the 20-point mark after missing when he was limited to eight points in 37 regular-season outings with the Avalanche last year.

Scheduled to return Wednesday Head coach Rick Bowness said Tuesday that Wood (leg) will return to the lineup against the Flyers on Wednesday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Impact Wood was placed on injured reserve Jan. 1 due to the leg injury he sustained against New Jersey on Dec. 31. The New York native was sidelined for 12 consecutive games. Wood skated on the fourth line with Dmitri Voronkov and Isac Lundestrom at Tuesday's practice, which means Danton Heinen is slated to be a healthy scratch against Philadelphia.

Placed on injured reserve Wood (leg) was put on injured reserve Thursday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Impact Wood was injured Wednesday against the Devils. The 30-year-old had eight goals and four assists with 39 shots on goal in 32 appearances this season. There is no timetable for his return,

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.

Impact 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.

Exits Wednesday's contest Wood (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Devils.

Impact Wood was tangled up on a hit in the first period and required assistance leaving the ice. That leaves his status in doubt for a weekend back-to-back with games against the Sabres on Saturday and the Penguins on Sunday. The Blue Jackets don't have any extra healthy players available, so if Wood is unable to play, a roster move will likely be necessary.

Set to return Monday Wood (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Kings, Dave Maetzold of FanDuel Sports Network reports.

Impact Wood missed Saturday's game against the Ducks due to his lower-body injury, but he'll be able to return to action following a minimal absence. Over nine appearances this month, he's logged two goals, two assists, 17 hits, four PIM and three blocked shots while averaging 14:47 of ice time.

Late scratch Saturday Wood won't play Saturday in Anaheim due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Wood has eight goals and 12 points in 28 appearances this season. Luca Del Bel Belluz might draw into the lineup because of Wood's absence.

Two points in Florida Wood produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Impact It's the second multi-point performance in the last three games for Wood, who has suddenly sprung to life offensively. After managing just four points (all goals) in his first 13 games with the Blue Jackets, the veteran winger has four goals and eight points over the last nine contests. His 20.5 percent shooting on the season strongly suggests his goal-scoring prowess won't last, however.

Two points against former club Wood scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

Impact Facing the team he made his NHL debut with back in 2015-16, Wood produced both his points in the third period as the Blue Jackets broke open a 2-2 tie. The veteran checking winger has been able to stay a bit healthier in 2025-26, suiting up for 20 of Columbus' first 26 games and delivering seven goals and 10 points with 36 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating.

Nets goal Saturday Wood scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Wood is making the most of his chance on the second line, potting two goals over the last three games. The 30-year-old winger is up to six tallies on the season, but he's yet to earn an assist while adding 28 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-4 rating over 16 appearances. Wood was limited to eight points in 37 regular-season outings in 2024-25, so he's well on his way to a bounce-back campaign.
