Roy produced an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had the secondary helper on Andreas Athanasiou's second-period tally. In 2019-20, Roy earned a respectable 18 points in 70 appearances. He added 132 hits and 100 blocked shots -- the 25-year-old blueliner has developed into a well-rounded rearguard. While he's not likely to see much power-play time, Roy can have some value as defensive depth in deeper fantasy formats.

Roy has notched 18 points in his first full year with Los Angeles and regularly topped 20 minutes of ice time in the final month before the pause.
EDGE Analysis
What really makes Roy an exciting long-term fantasy prospect is that he's plus-16 on a bad defensive squad and has managed four goals despite shooting just 3.6 percent. Keep an eye on him in the years to come.

Roy notched a power-play assist, four blocked shots and two shots on net in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The helper snapped an eight-game point drought for the 24-year-old blueliner. Roy is at 18 points with 112 shots, 132 hits and 100 blocks in 70 contests this year. He also has a plus-16 rating -- the Kings have leaked goals this year, but Roy has been a steadying presence on the blue line.

Roy ranks third on the Kings in hits with 125 and leads the team in blocked shots with 91, one of only five Kings above 60 blocks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy isn't really scoring at the moment, but that's OK in formats where he's owned because he's a top-quality defensive player. The Kings are going to keep giving him plenty of ice time, so if your league values defensive stats, he's a must-own. If not, there's little reason to roster him.

Roy notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old defenseman has assists in each of his last two outings, and he's posted a plus-9 rating in his last four games. For the season, Roy has 17 points, 102 shots, 106 hits and 85 blocked shots in 61 contests. His solid non-scoring numbers could make him worth a look in deeper formats.

Roy posted an assist, four shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 19:20 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Roy doesn't stack the scoresheet. He only has 16 points through 60 games, but he's a strong defender with a 56.9 Corsi For percentage, 105 hits and 85 blocked shots. He's only averaging 17:48 of ice time per game, and he won't see an uptick due to Alec Martinez's trade to the Golden Knights, as the two play on opposite sides of the blue line.

Roy registered an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Following a run of seven points over seven games in December, Roy went on an eight-game point drought that he snapped with the helper Thursday. The 24-year-old has 14 points, 78 shots on goal, 72 hits and 68 blocks through 46 appearances. He'll need to be a bit more consistent before he earns the trust of fantasy owners.

Roy provided an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy's helper came on a Matt Luff goal in the first period as the Kings' lesser-known players combined to open the scoring. Over his last three games, Roy has a goal and three helpers. His assist Thursday got him to the 10-point threshold in his second NHL season. He's added 45 hits and 52 blocked shots this year -- if he can keep up the recent success, the 24-year-old could have some appeal in deeper formats.

Roy provided two assists, a pair of shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Roy was good at finding Tyler Toffoli in this contest -- both assisted on Dustin Brown's first-period goal, and Roy had the primary helper on Toffoli's score in the middle frame. The blueliner has three points over his last two games, and nine points through 32 appearances overall.

Roy scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Roy's goal at 5:24 of the third period answered a run of four straight lamp-lighters for the Flames. The Kings weren't able to get another one, however. Roy has three goals and four assists in 31 contests this season, officially passing the six points he had in 25 games as a rookie last year. He's added 51 shots on goal, 51 blocks and 45 hits.
