Bailey scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout victory over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
He also threw a game-high and season-high six shots on net to go with three blocked shots, making it an all-around productive night for the 27-year-old. Bailey now has 10 points in 18 contests this season, a 46-point pace that -- even if it slows -- should leave him within earshot of his career-high 41-point showing from 2014-15.

Bailey collected a pair of assists in a 6-3 win over the Wild on Sunday. He also skated to a plus-2.
EDGE Analysis
That's five points in six games to start the season for Bailey, who is clearing enjoying life on the top line next to John Tavares and Andrew Ladd. Like Tavares, Bailey also blocked three shots in this one, which is a nice treat for owners in leagues that count that statistic.

Bailey scored a beautiful overtime winner Sunday against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
That's exactly what the Islanders were looking for in their home opener. Bailey danced around all three Anaheim blueliners in the extra frame before potting his first goal of the season. The 27-year-old is currently skating on the top line with John Tavares and should improve on the 12 goals he manged in 2015-16.

Bailey scored twice -- including once on the power-play -- during Tuesday's Game 3 5-4 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old finally made it onto the scoresheet in the second-round matchup with Tampa. He was very solid Tuesday, taking five shots on goal and taking two PIM. While Tuesday's performance was a big one, fantasy owners shouldn't get too excited. Bailey isn't a big scorer and only had four multi-point games during the regular season.

Bailey (undisclosed) will suit up for Game 3 on Tuesday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bailey will hit the ice for the first time since Isle's series-clinching victory on April 25--bumping fellow forward Ryan Strome from the lineup. He was a moderate offensive producer during the regular season, tallying 12 goals and 20 assists. The 26-year-old left winger will most likely slot in on the third line as he transitions back into the fast pace of the playoffs.

Bailey (undisclosed) left morning skate early, making him likely to play Game 3 against the Lightning on Tuesday night, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Bailey's been on the ice for two seconsecutive days -- including Monday's full practice -- there's good reason to believe that he'll indeed suit up Tuesday night. Assuming that holds true, look for Ryan Strome to get bumped from the lineup. Bailey found the back of the net 12 times in the regular season but has managed just a single assist for his lone point this postseason -- his egnimatic ways can be maddening for fantasy owners.

Bailey (undisclosed) could play in Game 3 on Tuesday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bailey has yet to play in the series but should return for Game 3 unless something unforeseen happens during the morning skate. Bailey will likely return to his role as a win on the third line.

Bailey (undisclosed) could return to practice soon depending on how he feels after skating Sunday, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old forward missed out on the Isles' first two games of their series with Tampa Bay, but appears to at least be making progress toward a return at some point in the season. A further update on Bailey's status should be given after Monday's practice.

Bailey (undisclosed) did not travel with the Islanders to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The news essentially rules him out for Game 1 and more than likely Game 2 as well. It's an unfortunate start to the series for the Islanders, who will be without a 32-point scorer for the start of the second-round series against a high-powered Lightning club. The team should update his status further when he closes in on a return but there's no official timetable at this point.

Bailey left the game Sunday before the end of the first period with an undisclosed injury, Brian Erni of Islanders Point Blank reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders did not feel the need to update his status after the game Sunday and Bailey should have at least three days off to prepare for the their second round matchup versus Tampa Bay. Bailey has been almost invisible the entire season (12g, 20a) so his loss is far from an impactful one should his injury be more serious than expected.
