Roy notched two assists, three shots on goal, a plus-3 rating, three hits and five blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Roy seemed to do a bit of everything for the Kings in his 23:31 of ice time Sunday. He set up the game-tying goal by Christian Wolanin as well as Adrian Kempe's game-winner, both in the third period. Roy has 11 assists, 79 shots, a plus-7 rating, 55 blocked shots and 43 hits in 30 contests this year. He's surpassed his 10-point campaign from 44 games last season, though he's yet to tally his first goal of 2021-22.

Roy managed an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and two hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Roy set up Andreas Athanasiou's empty-net goal in the third period to close the scoring. The 26-year-old Roy had gone three games without a point entering Thursday. The American defenseman has seven helpers, 68 shots, 43 blocks, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating in 25 outings overall. Without an uptick in offense, his fantasy appeal will remain limited to deeper formats.

Roy notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy saw a shot tipped in by Adrian Kempe at 7:56 of the third period, and the defenseman also set up Dustin Brown for the equalizer with 4:26 left in regulation. The 26-year-old Roy has yet to make much of an impact on offense this year. He has six helpers, 52 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 21 contests. With Drew Doughty (knee) back in action and Sean Durzi emerging as a power-play option, Roy's scoring potential has taken a serious hit in the last week.

Roy produced a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has been solid in a more significant role since Drew Doughty and Sean Walker suffered knee injuries. The 26-year-old Roy has picked up three assists in his last four contests, accounting for all of his offense this year. The Michigan native has added 26 shots on net, an even plus-minus rating, 17 blocked shots and eight PIM in 11 contests overall, and he should continue to see top-four usage.

Roy notched a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had the secondary helper on an Adrian Kempe goal in the second period. The assist was Roy's first point in five games since he returned from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. The 26-year-old blueliner is at 10 points, 52 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and 48 hits through 35 contests as a second-pairing defenseman.

Roy (not injury related) is expected to be in Tuesday's lineup against Anaheim, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has missed the last seven games after he was placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list earlier this month. The 26-year-old blueliner has nine points in 30 games this season and should slide back into a bottom-four role Tuesday.

Roy cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Sunday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy will begin practicing, and he could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday's matchup versus the Ducks. The Kings are 13-12-5 with Roy in the lineup and 3-8-1 without him in the fold, so his presence would be a boost to the Kings' blue line. Roy has accrued nine points through 30 NHL games, so he's not fantasy-relevant outside of deep formats.

Roy was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy won't be available for Saturday's game versus the Sharks. There's no clear timetable for his return because we don't know whether he tested positive or was simply a close contact to an infected person. The 26-year-old has averaged nearly 20 minutes per game this year, recording nine points over 30 appearances.

Roy scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Roy scored one minute into the game, but that was the extent of the Kings' offense against Vegas goalie Robin Lehner. The 26-year-old Roy has scored twice in the last three games. He's up to nine points, 44 shots, 38 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 28 appearances overall.
