Roy produced a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has been solid in a more significant role since Drew Doughty and Sean Walker suffered knee injuries. The 26-year-old Roy has picked up three assists in his last four contests, accounting for all of his offense this year. The Michigan native has added 26 shots on net, an even plus-minus rating, 17 blocked shots and eight PIM in 11 contests overall, and he should continue to see top-four usage.

Roy notched a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had the secondary helper on an Adrian Kempe goal in the second period. The assist was Roy's first point in five games since he returned from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. The 26-year-old blueliner is at 10 points, 52 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and 48 hits through 35 contests as a second-pairing defenseman.

Roy (not injury related) is expected to be in Tuesday's lineup against Anaheim, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has missed the last seven games after he was placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list earlier this month. The 26-year-old blueliner has nine points in 30 games this season and should slide back into a bottom-four role Tuesday.

Roy cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Sunday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy will begin practicing, and he could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday's matchup versus the Ducks. The Kings are 13-12-5 with Roy in the lineup and 3-8-1 without him in the fold, so his presence would be a boost to the Kings' blue line. Roy has accrued nine points through 30 NHL games, so he's not fantasy-relevant outside of deep formats.

Roy (COVID-19 protocol) was placed on the non-roster list Saturday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
This is a paper move for the Kings while Roy is in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. There is no timeline for his return currently.

Roy was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy won't be available for Saturday's game versus the Sharks. There's no clear timetable for his return because we don't know whether he tested positive or was simply a close contact to an infected person. The 26-year-old has averaged nearly 20 minutes per game this year, recording nine points over 30 appearances.

Roy scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Roy scored one minute into the game, but that was the extent of the Kings' offense against Vegas goalie Robin Lehner. The 26-year-old Roy has scored twice in the last three games. He's up to nine points, 44 shots, 38 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 28 appearances overall.

Roy scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy deposited his first goal of the year at 17:31 of the second period to tie the game at 1-1. The 26-year-old blueliner has eight points, 41 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 33 hits through 26 contests this season. Roy should continue to hold down a steady role among the Kings' defense corps, but his lack of scoring this year won't entice many fantasy managers.

Roy signed a three-year contract with the Kings worth $3.15 million AAV on Sunday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy is now signed through the 2023-24 campaign. The 26-year-old has played a key role on the Kings' blue line this season, totaling seven assists and 38 shots through 24 games while averaging more than 19 minutes.

Roy notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Roy ended a three-game point drought with his helper on a Trevor Moore goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Roy is up to seven assists, 38 shots on goal, 33 hits and 30 blocked shots through 24 contests this year. His scoring rate is a bit too low to be viable in most fantasy formats.
