Roy notched an assist, five hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has racked up two assists, 11 hits and 12 blocked shots over his last five contests. The defenseman remains a fixture on the second pairing, a role that's likely to change under interim head coach Jim Hiller. For the season, Roy has 15 points, 110 blocked shots, 87 hits, 90 shots on net, 24 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 48 appearances. His offense is a little low, but he can help fantasy managers in formats that play with a wide range of categories.

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 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.

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.
