Last night, Miles Wood played an important role in the New Jersey Devils’ 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He led the team with six shots on net and fired in a one-timer from the slot in the third period to put the team up 4-2 at the time. That goal stood as the eventual game winner. However, Wood did something pretty bad in the same game. Wood notably threw a reckless, unnecessary, and just plain stupid hit on Vladimir Namestnikov. Here’s a clip from Sportsnet of the play as it happened:
As you can see, Wood charged right at an unsuspecting Namestnikov, threw his whole body into the back of the player - drilling his body into his upper back, and left his feet in doing so.
