Maple Leafs place Miles Wood on injured reserve after missing practice

The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed winger Miles Wood on injured reserve after he did not participate in the team’s morning practice on October 15. The decision came ahead of their game against the Buffalo Sabres, which the Maple Leafs lost 5-4 in overtime. Wood, acquired in a trade involving Kirill Marchenko, had yet to appear in a game for the Maple Leafs since being called up from the AHL Toronto Marlies. The team has not disclosed the nature of Wood's injury, but being on IR requires him to miss at least seven days.
