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.

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.
