Bailey had two assists in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Back-to-back multi-point performances for Bailey, who has now put up seven points in his last five contests. The 29-year-old winger has played well this season despite the fact he's had to battle a nagging injury for most of it.

As expected, Bailey (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Panthers, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has been dealing with a nagging injury early on this campaign, but he's not concerned that it will be an ongoing issue. The 29-year-old winger will slot into his usual role skating on the Islanders' first line and top power-play unit against Florida.

Bailey was not spotted at practice for the Islanders on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to head coach Barry Trotz, Bailey is dealing with some kind of nagging injury but is still expected to play versus the Panthers on Wednesday. Bailey has missed several practices in the early parts of this season dealing with this injury. While it doesn't seem to be a major injury, it is enough to keep him from practicing on any kind of regular basis. Assuming Bailey does indeed play he will line up on the second-line with Brock Nelson and Anders Lee.

Bailey (undisclosed) left Monday's practice, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey sits tied for second on the team with six points in seven games and has been a bright spot in an otherwise slow start to the season for the Islanders. Head coach Barry Trotz didn't seem too concerned after practice regarding Bailey's departure due to muscle tightness, and with New York off till Wednesday the 29-year-old forward will benefit from an extended period of rest.

Bailey was not on the ice for the morning skate prior to the Islanders taking on the Ducks on Wednesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

This may be nothing as Bailey also didn't skate before the season opener in Carolina but still played that night. No injury has been reported. Bailey would be a loss to the Islanders if he were to miss the game as he has four points (1G, 3A) in the first four games for the team.

Bailey dished out an assist in Monday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey's season is starting off strong on the team's top line with Mathew Barzal, scoring one goal and adding three helpers in three games. With plenty of power-play minutes on tap as well, Bailey looks on his way to zone in on the 71 points he posted last season.

Bailey had two assists in a 4-3 loss to Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey needs a few more games like this to convince skeptical fantasy owners that his 71-point season last year wasn't a fluke. Bailey is talented and he's already off to a good start. It might be hard to hit that 70-point height again, but there's still plenty of value in a 60-plus point fantasy winger.

Bailey (back) scored the game-winning goal in overtime in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

It came on the power play. Bailey is coming off his best season ever. Thursday's goal is a great sign that he can continue to build off that success.

Bailey (back) will play Thursday at Carolina, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey calls it tightness in his lower back but doesn't believe it's serious and will be ready to go versus the Hurricanes. Bailey was originally slotted to play on the second-line with Brock Nelson and Anders Lee, but was moved back to the top line with Matthew Barzal and Anthony Beauvillier late in camp.

Bailey has been moved back to the top line, Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey originally was slotted to play on the second-line with Brock Nelson and Anders Lee, but coach Barry Trotz wants to see how he meshes with Anthony Beauvillier and Matthew Barzal. This move seemed to pay immediate dividends as Bailey had his first points of the preseason, goal and two assists, Friday versus the Rangers. Whether or not this move is permanent, remains to be seen.
