Bailey notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Bailey has two assists over his last three contests after producing just one point -- a goal -- over his previous 14 games. The winger has taken advantage of his opportunity in San Jose with 14 points, 58 shots on net, 61 hits and a minus-12 rating through 49 appearances this season. He continues to see steady time in a bottom-six role.

Sharks' Justin Bailey: Tickles twine late in loss
Rotowire
Bailey scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.
Bailey has two goals and two assists over six games since the All-Star break. He scored in garbage time Tuesday, ending a run of seven straight goals by the Devils. The 28-year-old winger has been a decent fourth-line forward this season with 12 points, 43 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-6 rating through 36 appearances. Still, his limited usage in a weak offense will keep him off the fantasy radar.

Sharks' Justin Bailey: First three-point effort
Rotowire
Bailey scored a goal, dished two assists, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.
Bailey saw just 9:58 of ice time in a fourth-line role, but he made the most of it. He scored off a turnover in the second period and assisted on both of Filip Zadina's third-period markers. This was Bailey's first multi-point effort of the season and his first career three-point game. The winger has four goals, seven helpers, 37 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-1 rating over 32 outings. While Thursday was a bright spot, his limited role in a weak offense makes the 28-year-old a tough player to justify rostering in fantasy.

Sharks' Justin Bailey: Scores third goal of 2023-24
Rotowire
Bailey found the back of the net in a 4-3 shootout victory over LA on Monday.
Bailey didn't record a goal over his previous eight contests, though he did register an assist during that stretch. He's up to three markers and eight points in 26 outings in 2023-24. Bailey is serving as a bottom-six forward and receiving minimal power-play ice time, so the 28-year-old is unlikely to increase his offensive pace.

Sharks' Justin Bailey: Tips in goal
Rotowire
Bailey scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Bailey tipped in a Mario Ferraro shot in the second period. The goal was Bailey's first point since he scored Dec. 12 versus the Jets. The 28-year-old winger is up to six points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 17 appearances. He continues to see bottom-six minutes, but Bailey's offense is too limited for fantasy purposes.

Sharks' Justin Bailey: First goal in over five years
Rotowire
Bailey scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Jets.
Bailey's last NHL tally came March 10, 2018 when he played with the Sabres. He'd gone over five years without scoring, though he saw just 37 NHL games in that span. The 28-year-old has enjoyed something of a career renaissance in San Jose, picking up five points, 10 shots on net, seven hits and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances this season. It's already his most productive NHL campaign, though it's unclear if he's done enough to hold on to his place in the lineup once the Sharks get some injured forwards back.

Sharks' Justin Bailey: Helpers in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Bailey logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
Bailey has a helper in each of the last two games and four assists across seven contests since he made his Sharks debut Nov. 27. The 28-year-old winger has already matched his career high in points in a season at the NHL level. He's added eight shots on net, five hits and a plus-3 rating while mainly seeing time on the third line. He's unlikely to sustain this offense throughout the season, so Bailey is only really an option for fantasy managers in very deep formats.

Sharks' Justin Bailey: Garners assist in team debut
Rotowire
Bailey notched a power-play assist in Monday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.
Bailey did solid work to set up Luke Kunin for the game-winning goal in the third period. In his Sharks debut, Bailey logged 11:39 of ice time while playing on the fourth line. The assist was his first NHL point since the 2018-19 campaign, when he was with the Flyers. It's unclear how long the 28-year-old will stick around with the big club after signing an NHL deal Monday -- he began the year on an AHL-only contract with the Barracuda.

Oilers' Justin Bailey: Signs one-year deal
Rotowire
Bailey signed a one-year, two-way contract with Edmonton on Friday and was subsequently placed on waivers.
Bailey has been playing in the AHL with Bakersfield, where he has four goals and 10 points in 16 games. He inked a deal during the season, and that automatically requires waivers. Should Bailey pass through waivers unclaimed, he will be assigned to Bakersfield.

Oilers' Justin Bailey: Receives PTO from Edmonton
Rotowire
Bailey signed a professional tryout contract with the Oilers on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Bailey spent the last three years with the Canucks, drawing into 19 games without recording a point in that span. He's been better in the AHL, recording 27 points in 30 contests last year. Bailey will likely need a strong showing in training camp to earn a contract from the cap-strapped Oilers.

Justin Bailey: Will be unrestricted free agent
Rotowire
Bailey will be allowed to hit the open market Wednesday after Vancouver declined to give him a qualifying offer.
Bailey will likely join his fourth NHL club, having logged 82 games for Buffalo, Philadelphia and Vancouver. Despite the lack of production, he has nine points in his career, the 2013 second-round pick will likely still get some offers from around the league.

Canucks' Justin Bailey: Moves to AHL
Rotowire
Bailey was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Bailey was on the taxi squad, but teams will not have any spare players on hand after the All-Star break. The 26-year-old winger will likely remain with Abbotsford for much of the rest of the season.

Canucks' Justin Bailey: Drops to taxi squad
Rotowire
Bailey was reassigned to the taxi squad Saturday, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
Bailey's demotion will clear a path for Phil Di Giuseppe, Juho Lammikko or Justin Dowling to enter the lineup Saturday versus Calgary. Bailey's gone scoreless while skating in a bottom-six role through 14 NHL appearances this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track his movement between the taxi squad and the active roster.

Rotowire
Bailey was assigned to the taxi squad Thursday.
Bailey could rise to the active roster soon, as J.T. Miller is awaiting confirmation after returning a positive PCR test for COVID-19. The 26-year-old Bailey could be an option to fill in for a bottom-six role in Friday's game versus the Panthers if Miller ends up being unavailable.

Rotowire
Bailey was waived by Vancouver on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Rotowire
