Bailey was deemed day-to-day with an upper-body and will miss Thursday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has averaged 17:34 of ice time -- 1:41 during the power play -- and tallied 21 over 38 games this season. The 32-year-old will set his sights on returning for Sunday's contest against Montreal.

Bailey added an assist in a 3-1 loss to the Oilers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey helped out on Anthony Beauvillier's power-play goal in the second period, scoring his first point with the man advantage since Dec. 16 against the Bruins. The left winger has gone nine games without a goal, though he has racked up five assists in that span.

Bailey failed to register a goal for the seventh straight game Wednesday as the Islanders' lost 3-0 to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has had four assists during his last seven games, so it's not like he's been invisible, but his lack of goals highlights a problem for both him and the team this season. That problem is that Bailey only has three goals in 34 games this season, and that follows a 2020-21 season in which he only had eight goals in 54 games. That means Bailey has only scored 11 goals in his last 88 games. That's just not going to get it done for a team struggling to score goals as the Isles are. Coach Barry Trotz hasn't had a problem benching his young players; perhaps he needs to think about doing the same to a veteran or two.

Bailey added two assists in a 4-0 win over the Coyotes on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has been a steady performer offensively over the past two weeks, with eight points over his last seven contests. The 32-year-old is usually a sure thing when it comes to contributing assists and this season he has been true to form, with 15 helpers in 28 contests.

Bailey produced an assist and added two PIM in Monday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey set up Brock Nelson on the opening tally at 11:44 of the second period. While his offense is far from eye-popping, Bailey's collected a goal and eight assists in 14 games since the start of December. The 32-year-old has 15 points (four on the power play), 24 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating in 26 contests overall. His lack of physicality and decreased scoring pace compared to recent seasons has sapped most of his usefulness in fantasy.

Bailey collected a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win over the Devils on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey served a helper to Mathew Barzal with 4:53 remaining in the third period, giving the Islanders the go-ahead goal. The left-winger had not scored a goal since Oct. 24 against the Golden Knights. The 32-year-old has seven assists over his last 10 contests.

Bailey dished out two helpers in Thursday's 4-1 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey capitalized on his top-line deployment, assisting on goals by Mathew Barzal and Noah Dobson. He has 11 assists in 22 games, but the veteran winger will continue to have limited value unless he can find his scoring touch, as Bailey remains stuck on one goal this season.

Bailey has only managed to wrinkle the twine once in 21 games this season for the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey only managed eight goals in 54 games last season, so perhaps this drop-off should not be all that surprising. The Islanders left Bailey off their protection list when it came time for the Kraken to pick in the expansion list. The Islanders were hoping the Kraken would take either Jordan Eberle or Bailey to relieve themselves of some cap room. The Kraken chose Bailey but right about now, the Isles may wish they had him back as Bailey has regressed and really isn't a top-six forward at this point in his career.

Bailey notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey earned the secondary helper on Noah Dobson's buzzer beater in the third period. The 32-year-old Bailey is up to one goal, six assists, nine shots on net and a minus-5 rating in 15 contests. While the point production is okay, the rest of his stat line is far too thin to be helpful in fantasy.

Bailey, who cleared COVID-19 protocols Friday, skated with the rest of the Islanders on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey returned to the team Friday but didn't play as he has to work himself back into shape. There was some hope that he would be able to play Sunday, but that was before the NHL postponed at least the next two games for the Islanders due to the COVID-19 outbreak for the team. The practice facility for the Islanders is closed until at least Wednesday, so Bailey will have to work on his conditioning by himself. Still, with so many players for the Islanders not available to play, it would be an upset if he isn't ready to go Thursday versus the Sharks. That, of course, assumes the NHL gives the okay for the Islanders to resume play.
