JOSH BAILEY NEWS

Released from PTO Ottawa released Bailey on Sunday from his professional tryout agreement.

Impact Bailey notched eight goals and 25 points in 64 games with the Islanders last season. He was traded to Chicago at the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and was promptly bought out of the final season of his six-year, $30 million contract.

Signs professional tryout Bailey agreed to a professional tryout with the Senators on Thursday.

Impact Bailey had eight goals and 25 points in 64 games with the Islanders last season. The Islanders dealt him to Chicago in June, and the Blackhawks subsequently bought out the final season of his six-year, $30 million contract. Although Bailey has fallen hard from his height of 71 points in 2017-18, the 33-year-old might still be a solid bottom-six forward this year.

Traded in Draft Day deal Bailey has been traded to the Blackhawks in exchange for future considerations, reports the New York Islanders Twitter feed.

Impact A second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft also goes with Bailey, who has one more year on his deal with a $5 million cap hit. He had eight goals and 25 points in 64 games with the Isles in 2022-23, and will provide depth for the Hawks.

Waived for buyout Bailey was designated for waivers by the Blackhawks on Thursday in order to buy out his contract, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

Impact It's been an interesting day for Bailey who was acquired by the Hawks from the Islanders for future considerations, only for his new club to essentially terminate his contract. While New York sheds the full $5 million cap hit by trading the winger, Chicago will still be on the hook for $2.7 million this year and $1.2 million next season, assuming he clears waivers. Since his career-best 2017-18 campaign in which he racked up 71 points, Bailey's numbers have steadily declined, including just 25 points in 64 games last season.

Ready to rock Bailey (upper body) will return to the lineup Sunday against Winnipeg, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Bailey, who has missed the past four games, has supplied six goals, 21 points and 66 shots on net in 54 contests this campaign. His return to action could bump call-up Arnaud Durandeau from the lineup.

On the trip Bailey (upper body) has accompanied the team on their road trip to Winnipeg and Minnesota, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Bailey has already missed the last four games due to the injury. It would seem that if he weren't going to play on this quick two-game road trip, the team would've left him on Long Island. That being said, the Islanders haven't announced if Bailey will play Sunday versus the Jets or if he is a game-time decision. Bailey has been a disappointment all around this season, with only six goals and 21 points in 54 games. The team would love to move him and his contract by Friday's trade deadline, but that would seem extremely unlikely.

Practicing Friday Bailey (upper body) is back at practice Friday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Bailey has missed the last three games after he was injured Feb. 17 against the Penguins. Bailey's best season was in 2017-18, when he had 18 goals and 53 assists. His offensive production has declined since then -- he has six goals and 21 points in 54 games this season.

Not available Friday Bailey (upper body) isn't expected to play Friday against Los Angeles, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Bailey also missed the Islanders' previous three games because of the injury. He did take part in Friday's practice though, so he seems to be making progress in his recovery. The 33-year-old has six goals and 21 points in 54 contests this season. With Bailey still out, Arnaud Durandeau is projected to stay in the lineup for the third consecutive game.

Hasn't resumed skating Bailey (upper body) has yet to resume skating, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact It appears Bailey will probably miss at least a few more games with his upper-body issue, which will keep him on the shelf for a third straight contest Wednesday versus Winnipeg. Rookie Arnaud Durandeau will likely continue to fill a middle-six role until Bailey is cleared to return.

Not expected to return Monday Bailey (upper body) isn't expected to travel to Pittsburgh for Monday's game against the Penguins, Islanders coach Lane Lambert told Stefen Rosner of NYI Hockey Now.

Impact Bailey wasn't available for Saturday's 6-2 loss against Boston, so Monday's contest will represent his second straight game out of the lineup. He has six goals and 21 points in 54 outings this season. Ross Johnston drew into the lineup for Saturday's game and might play again Monday.

Notches power-play assist Bailey registered a power-play assist in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact This was Bailey's first point in the last six games. The Islanders seem to be frustrated by his lack of production, as he was bumped down to the fourth line ahead of the NHL All-Star break, and Bo Horvat -- who's enjoying a career year -- was acquired in a trade with the Canucks in an attempt to stabilize the top line. Bailey rejoined the top-six group of forwards and picked up 17:36 of ice time against the Flyers, but the pressure is on for him to shift into a better gear offensively.
