Devils lock up Miles Wood with 4-year deal

The New Jersey Devils re-signed restricted free-agent forward Miles Wood to a four-year contract, the team announced Saturday.

The deal reportedly comes with an average annual value of $2.75 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Wood was one of many young Devils to enjoy a breakout season in 2017-18, tallying 19 goals - good for fourth on the team - and 13 assists in 76 games.

The 23-year-old possesses a rare combination of speed, physicality, and a nose for the net, as he also recorded 75 hits and a team-leading 84 penalty minutes.
