Roy posted an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had the secondary helper on Adrian Kempe's equalizing tally in the third period. The 26-year-old Roy hasn't found much offense in 2020-21, as he's up to five assists in 19 games.
