In 1986–87, Wood joined the AHL team, Springfield Indians and scored 47 points over 75 games. He was called up to the New York Islanders during that time where he scored only one goal over six games.

[3] [4] After spending three seasons in Buffalo, Wood was claimed in the waiver draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, got traded to the Dallas Stars, and then for the last season of his career he was sent back to the Islanders. [4]
