xGF% is his team's share of 5v5 expected goals while he was on the ice, from our own expected goals model; HDCF% counts only high-danger chances (xG of 0.15 or more). IPP is the share of his team's 5v5 goals while he was on the ice that he scored or assisted on. Relative stats compare him with his team when he was off the ice. Goals above expected and ixG/60 use his own shots at all strengths. PDO and OZS% describe luck and deployment, so their bars are grey.
Play styleSpeedy forechecking winger
Trait percentiles vs. NHL wingers · 2025-26
Wood plays a direct, physical game powered by elite speed that lets him chase down loose pucks and create chaos in the attacking zone. He struggles to set up plays or move the puck cleanly, making him most valuable in a grinding, defensive-minded role.

- 60th percentile physicality adds punch to his ground game
- 59% of shots from the slot shows he hunts dangerous areas
Watch-outs
- 21st percentile playmaking means limited ability to create for teammates
- 9th percentile rush chances suggest difficulty entering the zone with possession
- 19th percentile puck management leads to turnovers in transition

Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
