New York Islanders forward Josh Bailey missed the first two games of his team's second-round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning due to an upper-body injury, but he wasted no time making an impact in his return to the lineup in Game 3.

The 26-year-old opened the scoring Tuesday, finishing off a feed from Nikolay Kulemin to beat Ben Bishop less than eight minutes into the first period and end a 21-game goalless drought dating back to March 15.

Bailey had just one assist and a minus-4 rating during the first round against the Florida Panthers, so Islanders fans will hope this is a sign of things to come from the winger.
