Roy provided an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has a shorthanded goal and two helpers over his last four contests. It's an unusual burst of offense for the 27-year-old defenseman, who is typically limited to more of bottom-four, stay-at-home role in the Kings' defensive structure. He's up to 15 points, 79 shots on net, 86 blocked shots, 71 hits and a plus-3 rating through 45 contests, which is enough all-around production to be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats.

Roy scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Roy's tally midway through the second period was his first in a month, though he's now picked up points in consecutive contests after going scoreless for 13 straight. The goal was the first shortie of his career -- two of his 14 points this season have come while penalty killing. The 27-year-old blueliner has added 77 shots on net, 81 blocked shots, 67 hits and a plus-1 rating through 43 outings.

Roy recorded an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Roy set up defense partner Sean Durzi's goal in the second period. The helper ended a 13-game point drought for Roy, who added 29 hits, 24 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over that scoreless stretch. The 27-year-old defenseman has 13 points, 75 shots on net, 79 blocks, 66 hits and a minus-2 rating through 42 contests this season. He's on track for a career year on offense despite a near-complete lack of power-play time.

Roy scored a goal and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Roy opened the scoring early in the first period, knocking home a rebound off a Sean Durzi shot. The goal was Roy's first since Oct. 18. The 27-year-old blueliner now has four goals and eight assists through 28 games this season. Roy's value will be higher in leagues that value defensive stats as he now has 37 hits and 53 blocked shots.

Roy recorded an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has two helpers in his last three games. He's still yet to get on the scoresheet in consecutive contests, but he's providing decent offense from the blue line. The 27-year-old is up to three goals, eight assists, 48 shots on net, 37 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in 27 appearances while playing in a top-four role.

Roy notched an assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 9-8 overtime loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Roy helped out on a Sean Durzi goal to get the Kings' within one in the third period. The assist ended a three-game dry spell for Roy, who picked up five helpers in 14 outings in November. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to three goals, seven assists, 43 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 35 hits and a minus-4 rating through 25 outings while logging top-four minutes.

Roy notched an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy got the puck up to Phillip Danault, who was joined by goal-scorer Kevin Fiala on the final rush of the game. The assist was Roy's third in his last six games. The 27-year-old blueliner has been steady in a bottom-four role this season, logging seven points, 30 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 20 hits and a minus-1 rating. While his offense so far is solid for a blueliner, his lack of power-play time makes it look a bit unsustainable.

Roy notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Roy helped out on Carl Grundstrom's second goal of the contest. The assist ended a five-game point drought for Roy, who has been mainly a defensive presence in a bottom-four role lately. The blueliner has three goals, two helpers, 23 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-1 rating through 11 games.

Roy scored two goals on six shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Roy produced the Kings' third-period comeback, burying goals off feeds from Brendan Lemieux and Gabriel Vilardi in a span of 4:52. This was Roy's second multi-point effort in five games this season. The 27-year-old defenseman has three goals, one helper, 12 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-2 rating while playing in a top-four role. He had a career-high 21 points in 67 outings last year, but with a lack of power-play time, it's tough to expect him to keep this scoring pace up.

Roy was the Kings' hits and blocks leader with seven and six respectively through Los Angeles' first two games.
EDGE Analysis
Roy isn't expected to keep up anything close to that early pace, but he finished with over 100 hits and blocks in 2021-22 and should do so again this season if he stays healthy. He hasn't recorded a point yet in 2022-23 and the 27 year old defenseman has never been a major contributor in that regard. He set a career-high last season with 21 points in 67 contests.
