Roy logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Roy has three helpers over six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. That accounts for all of his offense through seven appearances this year. The 29-year-old defenseman usually puts up fine depth offense from the blue line, but he's been a little lacking in the physical stats with 12 hits and 10 blocked shots so far.

Roy notched an assist, three shots on goal, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Roy returned from a 10-game absence due to a lower-body injury and immediately reclaimed a top-four role. He saw 20:07 of ice time on the second pairing. The 29-year-old defenseman offers modest offense, but he should be a decent source of non-scoring production, particularly blocked shots and hits, going forward.

Roy (lower body) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play Wednesday versus Nashville, head coach Spencer Carbery told Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Roy hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 12 due to his lower-body injury. He's projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Rasmus Sandin. Dylan McIlrath, who has dressed in Washington's last 10 games, might be a healthy scratch Wednesday.

Roy (lower body) is skating in a regular jersey at Tuesday's practice, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Roy could return to the lineup versus Nashville on Wednesday after missing the last 10 games due to the injury. Tuesday marked the first day in which Roy upgraded from a non-contact jersey at practice. The right-shot blueliner logged a minus-2 rating in 8:39 of ice time in his only appearance with the Caps this season.

Roy (lower body) is at practice Thursday in a non-contact jersey, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roy was injured Opening Night and has missed the last seven games. The 29-year-old defenseman is close to returning, but he remains doubtful versus the Canadiens on Thursday. Roy had five goals and 25 points in 81 regular-season games for the Kings last season.

Roy (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against Montreal, but even if he misses that game, he should be back soon, Ethan Cadeaux of Monumental Sports Network reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Roy hasn't played since logging 8:39 of ice time in Washington's season opener Oct. 12. He had five goals and 25 points in 81 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2023-24. Roy might serve in a top-four capacity once healthy, especially if Jakob Chychrun needs to miss time after exiting Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers due to an upper-body injury.

Roy (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, Washington summoned forward Michael Sgarbossa from AHL Hershey. Roy has been out since Oct. 12, making him eligible to come off the IR list when he's ready to play. However, it remains unclear when he will be available to return.

Roy (lower body) skated before practice Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roy played Opening Night and left the game early with the injury. He has missed the last five games and has yet to practice with the Capitals since the injury. Consider him doubtful for Saturday's game in Tampa Bay.

Roy (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Flyers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roy was labeled day-to-day Oct. 14, but there hasn't been an update on his status since. As such, the defenseman can be considered out indefinitely until it's reported he's returned to practice. Dylan McIlrath continues to hold down a spot in the bottom four during Roy's ongoing absence.

Roy (lower body) will be out of action for some games despite a day-to-day designation. Head coach Spencer Carbery told reporters Monday, "I don't think it's going to be crazy long but he's going to miss a decent amount of time," per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

EDGE Analysis

While Carbery's comment is about as clear as mud, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting Roy to play in at least the next 3-4 games due to his lower-body injury. With that being the case, the blueliner could be a candidate for a stint on injured reserve in order to free up a roster spot. Dylan McIlrath is expected to move into Roy's spot on the blue line alongside Martin Fehervary.
