The Chicago Blackhawks made another move to expand their forward group and help another team's cap situation Thursday by acquiring winger Josh Bailey in a trade with the New York Islanders.

Bailey and a 2026 second-round pick were sent to the Blackhawks in exchange for future considerations. Bailey, 33, who played more than 1,000 games with the Islanders, has a year left on his contract worth $5 million.
