Sherwood has 22 goals, 38 points, 22 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 42 games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) and has been recalled to Nashville on Thursday. Sherwood scored the very first goal of the 2022-23 NHL season and has two points and 11 PIMs through five previous games with the Predators this season.
Sherwood scored the first goal of the NHL season in the Prague games for Nashville but has been sent down to Milwaukee of the AHL after clearing waivers Thursday. In five games prior to his demotion, Sherwood had two points (1G/1A) and 11 PIM while averaging 10:02 TOI.
Sherwood was a healthy scratch for the last two games but he will replace Zach Sanford in the lineup on Thursday. Sherwood has one goal and one assist in three games this season.
Sherwood has had stints with the Ducks and Avalanche since turning pro in 2018, appearing in a combined 87 career NHL games, posting 18 points (7G / 11A). With the Predators he'll likely remain a fringe roster player that will excel during his time in the AHL--he was third in the league in goals (36) and sixth in points (75) in 2022.
Sherwood was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday but will replace Kurtis MacDermid in the lineup on Friday. Sherwood has collected just one assist in seven games this season.

Sherwood split his 2020-21 campaign between the AHL and NHL. Sherwood played as a point-per-game player with 16 points (10G / 6A) in 16 games with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) but struggled to find the same level of offence with the Avalanche. Depending on what the Avlanahce do with their $20.26M in cap-space, Sherwood could have a spot on the NHL roster to start 2021-22 season.
Sherwood has been in the lineup for the last two games but will be replaced by Matt Calvert on Monday. Sherwood has two assists while playing 8:48 ATOI in six games this season.

Sherwood signed with the Ducks after three years at Miami (Ohio) University and spent the first three years of his career in their system. He had 23 points (16G / 7A) in 37 games with San Diego (AHL) a season ago and 13 points (6G / 7A) in 60 career NHL games.
Sherwood has been called up on a number of occasions this season but has yet to appear in a game with the Ducks. He has played 50 career NHL games to-date and has 23 points (16G / 7A) in 37 AHL games this season. He could replace a potential trade chip like Derek Grant in their last game before the deadline.
Sherwood suited up for 50 NHL games last year but has spent the entire 2019-20 season in the AHL, picking up 21 points (14G / 7A) in 30 games. He'll replace Daniel Sprong on the Ducks active roster.
