After bounceback with Amerks, Bailey gets another shot in NHL

‘”I got a little bit of confidence going into the break scoring wise,” Bailey said after practice in HarborCenter. “Lately I’ve been clicking finding some good chemistry with Tim Kennedy and I’ve been feeling pretty hot down there.”‘

Sabres prospect Justin Bailey ready for fresh opportunity

‘“He’s got some great speed down the ice, and that’s where he’s got to be effective for us,” Bylsma said inside HarborCenter. “That could be on any line. It could be on the fourth line, or it could be next to Jack (Eichel) for a portion of that time. But that’s something he has to earn with his play.”’

Sabres recall F Bailey

‘Bailey, 21, joins the Sabres for his second recall of the season after appearing in two games with the team in November and averaging 7:44 of time on ice. The Buffalo native is tied for seventh among all AHL skaters with 13 goals and is currently on a five-game point streak with five goals and two assists. His 22 points in 31 AHL games this season rank the second-year professional third among all Rochester skaters.’

Sabres recall Bailey

‘Bailey was part of the first cuts coming out of training camp and was swapped out for Carrier after being called up for two games earlier this season. Bailey practiced on Friday with Derek Grant and Nick Deslauriers. Dan Bylsma gave Carrier opportunity with Ryan O’Reilly and he said Bailey has a chance to earn opportunities for more ice-time, “I think he so, I think with Justin if you go back to his game against Philly last year, you see what type of player he can be and where he can add his speed, even today in our 5-on-5 portion of our drills, the speed he’s attacking the defensemen with, that’s where he’s got to be effective for us and that could be on any line and that’s something he has to earn with his play.”’

Bailey’s focus is on the present as he rejoins Sabres

‘”I thought ‘Hey, what more could I have done in the summer or what more could I have done during training camp?'” Bailey said. “And I reflected, I looked at a lot of things. But what are you going to do? I worked my butt off down in Rochester to get back up here. That’s in the past, I’m trying to look at the present now.”‘

Strong start is wasted as Sabres can’t stand prosperity

‘The Sabres easily played their best first period of the season and were full marks for a 2-0 lead over the Bruins. In the end, it meant nothing.’

Sabres Notebook: Carrier hurt; Ennis healing; Kulikov out

‘“I don’t think the hand injury was just the gash,” Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said in KeyBank Center. “He’s had a hand injury for a while, and I think he’s just further down the road with his fight.”’

Quick Hits: Bruins 4, Sabres 2

‘The surliness between the teams figures to grow as they met again Saturday afternoon at 1 in TD Garden. It is one of just two home-and-home sets the Sabres have this season; the other is against Columbus in March.’
