The No. 9 pick in the draft has gotten to Game No. 10.

And with that, the Islanders announced Saturday that first-round pick Josh Bailey will remain with the team "for the rest of the season" instead of being sent back to his junior team, the Windsor Spitfires. Bailey, 19, had five points in his first nine appearances, and the first year of his entry-level contract kicked in once he appeared in his 10th game Saturday night against Ottawa.

"Obviously, there were times I was sitting in my hotel room thinking it was almost a matter of time before I went back to junior," Bailey said. "Once they told me I was staying ... I told them I'm starting to get my confidence as a player."

The New York Islanders unveiled an unlikely offensive force against the Ottawa Senators: defenseman Freddy Meyer. Meyer scored twice and added an assist, and the Islanders snapped a two-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night. "I know in the minors, I had two hat tricks," Meyer said.

The Boston Bruins are dispelling the notion that they must rely on defense to win. Blake Wheeler and David Krejci set up each other for scores 10 seconds apart in Boston's five-goal third period to help the Bruins pull away for their 10th win in 12 games, a 7-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Friday afternoon.

Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby made the Nassau Coliseum their personal playground in the Pittsburgh Penguins' rousing third-period rally.

The latest jolt from the defending Eastern Conference champions came Wednesday night in a 5-3 victory.

Ryan O'Byrne blamed himself for costing the Canadiens a point. He didn't blame the Montreal fans for booing him. O'Byrne allowed the tying goal when he put the puck in his own net on a delayed penalty, and Bill Guerin scored the shootout clincher for the New York Islanders in a 4-3 victory over Montreal on Monday night.

With his team up by a goal and barely hanging on, New York Islanders captain Bill Guerin stepped up and gave goalie Joey MacDonald a hand. Guerin scored the decisive goal early in the third period, MacDonald made 35 saves, and the Islanders sent the reeling Buffalo Sabres to their fifth straight loss, 4-2 on Saturday night.

Kevin Weekes put a tough outing behind him with a milestone victory. Weekes made 25 saves for his 100th NHL victory, and David Clarkson and Travis Zajac scored 10 seconds apart late in the first period in the Devils' 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Friday night. It was a strong bounceback effort for Weekes in his first start since giving up four goals in two periods in a 5-2 loss to the...
