Miles Wood
(Boston College) posted the first two-goal game of his burgeoning NHL career on
Saturday night, as the visiting New Jersey Devils defeated the Philadelphia
Flyers, 4-1.
Wood tallied the Devils’ third and fourth goals in the victory,
his sixth and seventh goals of the 2016-17 campaign. His first score came late
in the second period on a rush from center ice, before he finished off the
night with a power-play goal in front in the final frame. Kyle Palmieri (Notre
Dame) notched the game-winning goal for New Jersey, while Keith Kinkaid (Union) made 35 saves.
Wood, the son of former Yale University standout and longtime
NHL player Randy Wood, played one year at BC, tallying 10 goals and 25 assists
for 35 points in 37 games last season in helping the Eagles to the 2016 NCAA Frozen
Four in Tampa. Drafted 100th overall by New Jersey in 2013, he has 7-3—10 points
in 29 NHL appearances this season, all with the Devils, along with 3-3—6 points
in 14 games with their minor-league affiliate in Albany (AHL).
A product of the Noble and Greenough (MA) School, Wood made
his professional debut in the Devils’ 2015-16 NHL regular season finale against
Toronto.
