Bailey is expected to see his first action of the preseason in one of the next three games, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Barry Trotz knows what he has in Bailey and isn't in any rush to see him during meaningless preseason games. Keeping Bailey out of the lineup also allows Trotz to see how some of the Isles' prospects fare with true NHL forwards. The 29-year-old winger will once again be a big part of the second line for the Islanders in 2019-20.

Bailey scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist during Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinals.
EDGE Analysis
His second-period tally tied the score at 2-2 and briefly gave the Isles a flicker of hope before the 'Canes took control in the third. The points were Bailey's first of the second round, and he now has four goals and six points through seven postseason contests. The veteran winger may need to produce another big effort if New York is going to avoid getting swept Friday in Game 4.

Bailey scored the overtime winner during Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Penguins in Game 1 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old had a chance to win it in the dying seconds of the third period and rang his shot off the post, but Bailey made no mistake in extra time, burying the rebound after Mathew Barzal's backhand attempt also found iron. Bailey was on a roll to close out the regular season, scoring two goals and six points in the last eight games, and it looks like he's carried that momentum with him into the playoffs.
