Roy notched two assists in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy snapped his 13-game point drought just in time for the playoffs. The 28-year-old defenseman is hardly a consistent scoring threat from the blue line, but he had career highs in goals (nine) and points (26) while playing in all 82 contests this season. He added 153 blocked shots, 119 hits, 135 shots on net and a plus-8 rating, so he'll likely be tasked with significant defensive assignments in the first round against the Oilers.

Roy notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has a helper in five of the Kings' six games in March, and he's also gone plus-7. The 28-year-old defenseman set up Quinton Byfield's empty-netter just after a penalty kill in the third period. Roy continues to enjoy a productive campaign with nine goals, 15 helpers, 120 shots on net, 125 blocked shots, 99 hits and a plus-6 rating through 68 contests.

Roy produced an assist, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has a helper in each of the last four games. The defenseman's five hits were tied for his second-highest total of the season, and it was just the second time he'd logged multiple hits since the start of February. He has a career-high 23 points with 119 shots on net, 120 blocked shots, 98 hits and a plus-4 rating through 66 appearances.

Roy logged an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has an assist in each of his three games in March. The 28-year-old defenseman seems to have been freed up to join the offense more with Vladislav Gavrikov around to hold things down in the defensive zone. Roy has a career-high 22 points with 118 shots on net, 116 blocked shots, 93 hits and a plus-2 rating through 65 outings this season, surpassing the 21 points he produced in 67 contests a year ago.

Roy notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has a helper in each of the last two games. The 28-year-old defenseman appears to be the Kings' first option to partner with Vladislav Gavrikov -- the duo has the potential to be a solid shutdown pairing. Roy has a bit more scoring upside between the two of them with 21 points in 64 contests, matching his career-best total from 67 outings a year ago. The 28-year-old has added 115 blocked shots, 93 hits, 115 shots on net and a plus-1 rating this season.

Roy notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had an odd run for a defenseman -- he went 17 games without a helper while scoring four goals in that span. He finally played provider again Thursday by setting up a third-period Gabriel Vilardi goal. The addition of Vladislav Gavrikov to the Kings' blue line will potentially impact Roy's ice time. Roy will likely be limited to a bottom-four role the rest of the way. He's at 20 points (one shy of his career high) with 112 shots on net, 93 hits, 115 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 63 outings overall.

Roy scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Roy buried a feed from Phillip Danault on an odd-man rush to cut the Kings' deficit to 3-2 early in the third period. Roy is up to 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) through 61 games this season, two shy of his career high set last season. The 27-year-old blueliner typically plays a stay-at-home role defensively, where he's logged 90 hits and 113 blocked shots.

Roy scored a goal and an assist on five shots, helping the Kings to a 6-5 shootout win over the Coyotes on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The third star of the game, Roy scored a goal off a nice pass from Anze Kopitar. He would also add an assist on Anze Kopitar's goal earlier in the first period. Roy now has goals in two of his last three games as he looks to be heating up offensively. On the season, Roy has eight goals and 19 points in 57 games.

Roy scored a goal on four shots and blocked four shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has two goals and a plus-2 rating over his last five contests. The 27-year-old defenseman capped off a four-goal second period that gave the Kings all they needed for this win. Roy is up to seven tallies, 17 points, 92 shots on net, 87 hits, 106 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 55 appearances. He's on track for a career year, and he could be a solid depth defenseman in fantasy.

Roy scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Roy sank an empty-net goal, which was critical for the Kings since the Panthers countered with a tally of their own 28 seconds later. Shots are falling for Roy this season -- the defenseman has collected six goals on 86 shots for a career-high shooting percentage (7.0) -- plus he's added 10 assists, 82 hits and 97 blocked shots to mix it up in some of the ancillary categories.
