Josh Bailey back for Bridgeport

Islanders forward Josh Bailey, who was sent to Bridgeport last week, returned to the Sound Tigers last night for the first time since suffering a minor pectoral strain in the team's 3-2 shootout loss to Hartford last Saturday.

Bailey chipped in with an assist on Jeremy Colliton's first-period power-play goal in Bridgeport's 5-3 loss to Springfield last night.

The Sound Tigers play again tonight against the Providence Bruins at Harbor Yard.
