Bailey's season debut

By Victoria Matiash

It seems Josh Bailey is ready to make his season debut for the New York Islanders. Newsday's Arthur Staple suggests the young forward will likely suit up against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.

"... (Islanders) officially add Josh Bailey to roster off suspension. Would figure he's in tonight vs. Sabres ..."

The 23-year-old center's inclusion could bump Casey Cizikas -- who was originally pegged to play Saturday -- from the lineup. Bailey was suspended to start the season after injuring his knee during the lockout.
