What a night for Josh Bailey. The career New York Islanders forward, in his fifteenth season with the club, suited up for his 1,000th game tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes. He celebrated the occasion by scoring the game-winning goal en route to a convincing Islanders road victory, their first of the year.
It was a full team effort for all sixty minutes, and if they can replicate every night what they did tonight, or at least something close to it, they’ll be in great shape for the rest of the season. What a night for Bailey, and what a night for the Islanders against a division rival and Stanley Cup contender.
