Miles Wood (Boston College) is back with the New Jersey
Devils. Wood, 23, who sat out the first week of the Devils' 2018-19 training
camp, signed a four-year, $11 million contract with New Jersey, according to
NHL.com. The contract carries an annual average value of $2.75 million.
A Buffalo native, Wood set professional and NHL career
highs last season when he tallied 19 goals and 13 assists for 32 points in 76 regular-season
contests for the Devils. He also made his Stanley Cup Playoff debut, and went scoreless
in five games as the Devils were eliminated in the first round by the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
Wood prepped at the Noble and Greenough School, and
with the Cape Cod Whalers and Salem Ice Dogs, all in Massachusetts, before he spent
one season at BC. He tallied 10 goals and 35 points along with 76 penalty
minutes in helping the Eagles to the 2016 NCAA Frozen Four, and then turned pro,
where he made his NHL debut with New Jersey to close out the season.
He spent 15 games with Albany (AHL) during the 2016-17
campaign before joining the parent Devils for good, and collected eight goals
and 17 points in 60 NHL appearances that season. The son of former NHL player
and Yale University alumnus Randy Wood, the younger Wood has registered 27-22—49
points and 170 penalty minutes in 137 NHL regular-season contests.
