Roy scored a goal on four shots and blocked four shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Roy gave the Kings an early 2-0 lead with his first-period tally. The defenseman has been solid in a top-four role this season, but he's played as more of a shutdown defender alongside Vladislav Gavrikov on the second pairing. Roy is up to 10 points, 65 shots on net, 55 hits, 79 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 35 appearances.

Roy managed an assist, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has a helper in each of the last two games after going seven contests without a point. The 28-year-old blueliner has seen steady usage in a top-four role this season, and his ability to get involved on offense should increase now that Vladislav Gavrikov (lower body) is back in the fold. Roy has nine helpers, 55 shots on net, 52 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 31 appearances.

Roy logged an assist and blocked five shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Roy snapped a seven-game point drought with the lone assist on Trevor Moore's second-period marker. This was Roy's first point at home since Nov. 9. The defenseman has been rather quiet this season, posting eight helpers, 54 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 47 hits and a plus-8 rating through 30 appearances. He had a career-best 26 points last year, so his offense is likely to be limited even when he's at his most effective.

Roy notched a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has an assist in two of the last three games, giving him five helpers this season. He had the secondary assist on Carl Grundstrom's shortie in the first period Thursday. Roy has held his own in a top-four role, adding 25 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 29 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 13 appearances.

Roy logged an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Roy helped out on an Alex Laferriere goal in the first period. While Drew Doughty and Mikey Anderson have led the way on the blue line, Roy has been solid in a second-pairing role. The 28-year-old defenseman has three assists, 18 shots on net, 18 hits, 18 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-1 rating through eight games.

Roy recorded a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Roy hasn't regularly seen power-play time this season, but he picked up some on a late manpower advantage in the third period. He's notched an assist in each of the last two games while also staying out of the penalty box in those contests. The 28-year-old defenseman has two helpers, 11 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-2 rating through five appearances, primarily playing on the second pairing.

Roy has a team-high 10 PIM in three contests this season.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had just 22 PIM in 82 contests last season, and his career high is 28, so this is quite the spike for him. All his penalties in 2023-24 have been two-minute minors, putting him in a three-way tie with Toronto's Tyler Bertuzzi and Montreal's Josh Anderson for the most minors in the league with five. Roy also has six shots, five hits and eight blocks this year. He hasn't recorded a point yet after finishing 2022-23 with nine goals and 17 assists.

Roy scored a goal in a 5-4 overtime loss to Edmonton in Game 4 on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Roy put the Kings up 4-3 early in the third period, but LA couldn't hold onto that lead. The defenseman has recorded at least a point in four of his last five outings, and he has a goal and three points in four playoff contests this year. During the regular season, Roy contributed nine goals and 26 points in 82 appearances.

Roy logged an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Roy set up Adrian Kempe's goal 52 seconds into the third period, which got the Kings on the board. After shaking off a 13-game point drought in the regular-season finale, the 28-year-old now has three assists over his last two contests. He had a career-high 26 points with 153 blocked shots, 135 shots on net and 119 hits in 2022-23, so it'll likely be his non-scoring production that offers some fantasy value in postseason pools.
