Roughly two and a half years after the Buffalo Sabres drafted him, forward Justin Bailey made his professional hockey debut.
Now, some six months later, the Buffalo Sabres prospect has completed his first season in the AHL, also getting a chance to dabble in the NHL world.
Bailey impressed many during his first season in Rochester, and seemed promising in the small sample size of NHL action he got.
The 20-year-old made his American Hockey League debut on October 9, when the Rochester Americans hosted the Lake Erie Monsters.
He recorded his first professioanl point just one day later, an assist on Jerry D’Amigo‘s first goal of the season.
