And with that, the Islanders announced Saturday that first-round pick Josh Bailey will remain with the team "for the rest of the season" instead of being sent back to his junior team, the Windsor Spitfires. Bailey, 19, had five points in his first nine appearances, and the first year of his entry-level contract kicked in once he appeared in his 10th game Saturday night against Ottawa.
"Obviously, there were times I was sitting in my hotel room thinking it was almost a matter of time before I went back to junior," Bailey said. "Once they told me I was staying ... I told them I'm starting to get my confidence as a player."

(Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:45:55 PST)
