Roy notched three assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Roy has five helpers over his last five games, and he's added 14 blocks and a plus-6 rating in that span. The 30-year-old continues to see ample playing time in a top-four role, though mostly in a defensive capacity. He's at one goal, eight assists, 37 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-19 rating over 28 appearances. Roy is on track to top the 20-point mark for the fifth year in a row, but he might miss out on the 100-hit threshold.

Roy scored a goal and blocked two shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Roy lit the lamp against his former team just under four minutes into Monday's contest for his first goal of the season. With his opening goal to the campaign, the 30-year-old blueliner is up to three points, 28 shots on net, 21 hits and 40 blocks through 19 games this season. Despite his slow start offensively, Roy hasn't missed a beat in terms of category coverage and is once again near the necessary pace to reach his fifth straight regular season with 100-plus hits and blocks. Roy is a solid depth fantasy defenseman in category leagues and could find a way to increase his scoring output alongside his blue line partner Jakob Chychrun, who is also heating up offensively.

Roy logged an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Roy's helper on a Tom Wilson goal in the second period was the first point of the year for the veteran defenseman. He's added 14 hits, 21 blocked shots, 15 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances. Roy's usage is mostly defensive, so don't expect a ton of point production, though he has recorded at least 20 points in four straight seasons.

Roy (upper body) participated in Tuesday's practice and will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener versus Boston, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roy sustained an injury in Saturday's preseason finale but made a quick recovery before Opening Night. He accounted for three goals, 24 points, 84 shots on net, 113 blocked shots and 114 hits across 69 games during the 2024-25 regular season.

Roy sustained an upper-body injury Saturday versus the Blue Jackets and will be evaluated further, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Capitals also lost Dylan McIlrath (lower body) in Saturday's contest, leaving their defense potentially thinned out before the start of the regular season. More information on Roy's status should be available before the Capitals' first regular-season game Wednesday against the Bruins.

Roy logged an assist, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Roy continues to play in a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman. The 30-year-old has one assist, two shots on net, six hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three playoff contests. Roy is a good target for fantasy managers in need of a boost in the physical categories. He had 24 points, 114 hits, 113 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating over 69 regular-season appearances.

Roy (rest) is slated to draw into the lineup for Game 1 of Washington's first-round series versus Montreal on Monday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Roy finished the regular season with three goals, 24 points, 114 hits and 113 blocks across 69 outings with Washington. He's projected to serve on the second pairing alongside Rasmus Sandin in Game 1.

Roy (rest) won't play in Washington's season finale against Pittsburgh on Thursday, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

EDGE Analysis

The Capitals are taking the unusual step of dressing 13 forwards and five defensemen as they look ahead to the playoffs. Roy will finish the regular season with three goals, 24 points, 114 hits and 113 blocks in 69 outings. He'll probably be back in the lineup for Game 1 of Washington's first-round series against Montreal on Monday.

Roy (personal) was back at practice ahead of Friday's clash with the Blackhawks, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roy's return to the team following a two-game stint away should see him reclaim a spot on the blue line versus Chicago -- a move that likely means Dylan McIlrath will be back in the press box as a healthy scratch. In his last five outings, the 20-year-old Roy has generated one goal, two assists and nine shots while dishing out six hits and recording six blocks.

Roy (personal) is not with the Capitals on their road trip and will not be available Tuesday in Boston, according to Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

EDGE Analysis

Since Roy isn't with the team, it's unlikely he'll be available for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set against Carolina on Wednesday. Dylan McIlrath will fill a bottom-pairing role against the Bruins on Tuesday. Roy has provided three goals, 21 helpers and a plus-28 rating over 63 appearances in 2024-25.
