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.

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 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.
