Roy notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Roy set up a Viktor Arvidsson tally in the third period which stood as the game-winning goal. This was Roy's second assist in four games since returning from the COVID-19 protocols. The defenseman's offense has mostly run cold since December -- he's now at 15 assists, 120 shots on net, 90 hits, 77 blocked shots, a plus-14 rating and 18 PIM in 49 outings overall. He's still a strong physical presence in a top-four role.

Roy recorded an assist, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had the secondary helper on Phillip Danault's equalizer late in the second period. The 26-year-old Roy has played in two games since returning from the COVID-19 protocols. The defenseman snapped his 11-game point drought with the assist, and he's now at 14 helpers in 47 contests overall. He's added 116 shots on net, 85 hits, 72 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating in a top-four role, though fantasy managers would likely want to see a bit more offense from the American.

Roy had four shots in a 4-1 loss to the Avalanche on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has not scored a goal this season in 41 games for the Kings, but it hasn't been for lack of trying. The defenseman is well on pace to set a career-high in shots, with 108 this season. Roy has 13 assists and 69 hits on the year.

Roy logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Roy snapped a three-game point drought with his helper on Adrian Kempe's shortie in the second period. The 26-year-old Roy doesn't make a huge splash on offense -- he's at 13 assists (two on the power play, two while shorthanded) in 35 games. He's a solid physical presence, adding 58 blocked shots, 54 hits and 10 PIM while recording a plus-10 rating in a top-four role, so there's a case to roster the American blueliner in deeper formats.

Roy notched two assists, three shots on goal, a plus-3 rating, three hits and five blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Roy seemed to do a bit of everything for the Kings in his 23:31 of ice time Sunday. He set up the game-tying goal by Christian Wolanin as well as Adrian Kempe's game-winner, both in the third period. Roy has 11 assists, 79 shots, a plus-7 rating, 55 blocked shots and 43 hits in 30 contests this year. He's surpassed his 10-point campaign from 44 games last season, though he's yet to tally his first goal of 2021-22.

Roy managed an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and two hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Roy set up Andreas Athanasiou's empty-net goal in the third period to close the scoring. The 26-year-old Roy had gone three games without a point entering Thursday. The American defenseman has seven helpers, 68 shots, 43 blocks, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating in 25 outings overall. Without an uptick in offense, his fantasy appeal will remain limited to deeper formats.

Roy notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy saw a shot tipped in by Adrian Kempe at 7:56 of the third period, and the defenseman also set up Dustin Brown for the equalizer with 4:26 left in regulation. The 26-year-old Roy has yet to make much of an impact on offense this year. He has six helpers, 52 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 21 contests. With Drew Doughty (knee) back in action and Sean Durzi emerging as a power-play option, Roy's scoring potential has taken a serious hit in the last week.
