Head coach Todd McLellan said Sunday that Roy (upper body) will miss extended time, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sean Walker (face) was given the same timeline, although there's nothing concrete with either player. Austin Strand and Mark Alt likely will replace the two defensemen in the lineup for the time being.

Roy (upper body) was injured in the second period of Thursday's game versus the Wild, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roy was boarded by Kevin Fiala and needed help getting off the ice. Fiala received a major penalty and a game misconduct. Per Pierce head coach Todd McLellan believes Roy will be able to travel with the Kings back to Los Angeles. The defenseman's status for Tuesday's game against the Ducks is unclear.

Roy posted an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Roy snagged the secondary helper on Adrian Kempe's second-period marker. The 25-year-old Roy has two assists, 10 shots on goal, nine hits and a plus-2 rating through five contests. He generated 18 points and a plus-16 rating in 70 outings last year for a Kings team that often lost -- he's a steady and physical defender with a little scoring touch.

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.
