Bailey Named NHL Third Star of the Week

The National Hockey League announced today that Josh Bailey has been named the Third Star of the Week.
Baileys scored eight points (4G, 4A) in four games including his first career hat trick on Thursday night in Columbus. Bailey recorded a point in every game last week and is currently riding a five game point streak and a three game multi-point streak. His eight points ranked second in the NHL behind teammate John Tavares (nine points).

Bailey co-leads the Islanders in points with 40 (9G, 31A) and leads the team with 31 assists. His 31 helpers currently rank second in the NHL.

In Saturday night's overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings, Bailey and Tavares become the first Islanders since 1993-94 (Pierre Turgeon) to hit the 40 point mark in the team's first 33 games.
This is Bailey's second time winning NHL Star of the Week honors this season.
He was named the NHL's Second Star of the Week on Nov. 6.
