Bailey had two assists and three shots Monday in a 3-1 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey made a pair of perfect feeds on re-direction goals on the doorstep, the first setting up Anders Lee to open the scoring in the first period and the second resulting in Brock Nelson's power-play strike in the middle frame. It was the first multi-point game of the year for Bailey, who also matched his season high for shots on goal. Bailey has perennially provided a goal total in the teens, but he's scored just once through 14 games in 2020-21.

Bailey collected a goal and an assist and led all players with six shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey's deflection of a Ryan Pulock point shot just 63 seconds into the third period brought the Islanders to within 3-2. It was the first goal all season for Bailey, who entered the contest with just one assist in his first eight games. He had assisted on Nick Leddy's power-play goal earlier in the night that got New York on the board. Bailey registered 14 goals and 29 points in 68 games in 2019-20.

Bailey has been removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list ahead of Thursday's night's matchup with the Devils, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey was just added to the protocol list Wednesday, but he was evidently able to provide a negative test ahead of Thursday night's contest. He'll slot into his usual spots on the Islanders' second line and second power-play unit against New Jersey.

Bailey has been added to the COVID-19 protocol, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This explains why coach Barry Trotz was vague in describing why Bailey wasn't at practice Wednesday. If Bailey is unable to play Thursday versus the Devils, his next chance to get into the lineup will be in New Jersey on Sunday.

Bailey was added to the COVID-19 protocol list Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was announced earlier Wednesday that Bailey was questionable to play against the Devils on Thursday, and his placement could be the reason why. Bailey has gone pointless through the first three games of the season despite seeing a top-six role, so this comes at a tough time to be sidelined. Bailey will not be able to practice or travel with the team until he's cleared.

Bailey (undisclosed) is questionable to play Thursday versus the Devils, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Barry Trotz hasn't stated the exact nature of the injury. Bailey is off to a slow start this season, as he has yet to register a point in the first three games. He's been playing on a line with Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Anthony Beauvillier, but if his offensive woes continue, that could easily change.

If Bailey were to play 35 games this season he will become the fourth Islanders in history to play 900 games for the team, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey will always have his detractors but with 30 assists this season that would also put him fifth all-time on the Islanders in that category. Bailey also had a team-high 20 assists in the playoffs last season. The bottom line is Bailey is far from a superstar and yes, every coach he has played for wants him to shoot the puck more, but the Islanders could do worse. Bailey will continue to line up on the second line with Brock Nelson and Anthony Beauvillier and the Isles will hope this trio picks up from where they left off in the playoffs.

Bailey recorded two assists, five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey's contributions to the offense were timely -- he assisted on Brock Nelson's go-ahead goal and Jean-Gabriel Pageau's empty-netter, both late in the third period. It was Bailey's fourth two-assist effort in his last seven contests. The play-making winger has 19 points (two goals, 17 assists) in as many games during the postseason.

Bailey had two assists and one shot in Saturday's 4-0 win over Philadelphia in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey enjoyed his third two-assist performance in the last four games, setting up insurance goals by Brock Nelson and Anthony Beauvillier. The 30-year-old Bailey leads the Eastern Conference finals-bound Islanders in points (17) and assists (15) during the playoffs.

Bailey registered a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Philadelphia in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey slammed home a loose puck at the side of the net early in the second period to break a scoreless deadlock. He also picked up a helper on Brock Nelson's third-period goal. The 30-year-old winger has enjoyed a terrific postseason with a team-leading 15 points (3 goals, 12 assists) in 14 games.
