EDGE Analysis

Bailey gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead 31 seconds into the second period, but that's where their offense ended. The 32-year-old winger has scored three goals in his last four outings, which is good work for a player who is usually more inclined to pass. He's at 11 tallies, 37 points, 76 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 67 appearances.

Bailey scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

This season, Bailey has been a disappointment as he only has seven goals and 31 points in 55 games. Last season he had eight goals and 35 points in 54 games. While that difference is negligible, Bailey had a rating of plus-12 last year, which has plummeted to minus-5 this season. That's a pretty significant difference for a player who hasn't provided much offense, especially under coach Barry Trotz who believes in defense first. While the Islanders will certainly explore moving Bailey in the offseason, he still has two years and $10 million left on his contract. That makes him likely to wind up back with the Islanders next season.
