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.

Where he shoots from

Slot 59% · Mid-range 24% · Perimeter 18%(102 unblocked shots)

Strengths

98th percentile speed gives him rare separation ability on the rush
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

Game Score adds up a player's impact in goals compared with an average player given the same ice time: his share of expected goals for and against at even strength, on the power play, and on the penalty kill, plus finishing (goals minus expected goals), primary assists, penalties drawn and taken, and faceoffs. Goalies are measured by goals saved above expected.
