Throughout his career, he has competed in 141 NHL games, accumulating 23 points, which includes stints with the Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Vancouver Canucks, having been drafted in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft.

The San Jose Sharks have traded 29-year-old forward Justin Bailey to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Pavol Regenda. This move comes after Bailey played the current season with the San Jose Barracuda in the AHL, where he recorded seven goals and 14 points across 33 games. Last season, he contributed five goals and 14 points in 59 games with the Sharks. Previously, Bailey had a brief tenure with the Philadelphia Flyers and has accumulated 10 goals and 23 points over 141 career NHL games, showcasing his potential as a bottom-six forward for Anaheim.

The San Jose Sharks have made a notable trade by sending Justin Bailey to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Pavol Regenda. Bailey, previously nominated for the Bill Masterton Trophy, had a season with the Sharks where he played 59 games scoring five goals and adding nine assists. Despite a promising last season, he hasn't seen any action in the current NHL season, contributing instead with 14 points in 33 games with the Sharks' AHL affiliate, the Barracuda.

In return, the Sharks acquired Regenda, who has been active in the AHL this season, tallying four goals and 12 assists in 36 games. Regenda has had limited NHL experience, playing 19 games over his career with a total of one goal and two assists. This trade reflects the Sharks' strategy of reshaping their roster amid a challenging season, seeking to inject new talent and potentially unlock further scoring options.
