Roy scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy deposited his first goal of the year at 17:31 of the second period to tie the game at 1-1. The 26-year-old blueliner has eight points, 41 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 33 hits through 26 contests this season. Roy should continue to hold down a steady role among the Kings' defense corps, but his lack of scoring this year won't entice many fantasy managers.

EDGE Analysis
Roy ended a three-game point drought with his helper on a Trevor Moore goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Roy is up to seven assists, 38 shots on goal, 33 hits and 30 blocked shots through 24 contests this year. His scoring rate is a bit too low to be viable in most fantasy formats.

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. He's gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive outings, but the Michigan native's fantasy value is mainly limited to deep formats. He's contributed a plus-5 rating, 36 shots on net, 27 hits and 21 blocked shots.

EDGE Analysis
Roy's return doesn't necessarily appear to be imminent, but he's clearly trending in the right direction. The 25-year-old blueliner, who picked up three helpers in eight games before sustaining an upper-body injury, will return to a top-four role whenever he's given the green light.
