Roy scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
This was Roy's first goal for the Avalanche, and it comes in his second game since he was acquired from the Maple Leafs on Thursday. The 29-year-old now has six goals, 21 points, 59 shots on net, 62 hits and 32 blocked shots over 61 appearances this season. He has started his Colorado tenure as the team's third-line center, though he could also move to the wing if fellow trade acquisition Nazem Kadri gets moved to the middle.

Roy (not injury related) is expected to make his Colorado debut against Dallas on Friday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has scored just one goal in his last 23 outings while chipping in five assists and 17 shots. If the 29-year-old forward is going to offer Colorado some depth scoring, he is going to need to shoot the puck more. While Roy shouldn't be expected to serve in a power-play capacity, he could see minutes on the penalty kill.

The Avalanche hope to have Roy meet them in Dallas ahead of Friday's game against the Stars, but his status is in question due to his immigration paperwork, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy was traded to the Avalanche from the Maple Leafs on Thursday in exchange for a 2027 conditional first-round pick and a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to make his team debut a day later. Roy made 59 appearances for Toronto to begin the year, recording five goals, 15 assists, 61 hits, 32 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 14:45 of ice time.

Roy was dealt to Colorado from Toronto on Thursday in exchange for a conditional first-round pick in 2027 and a conditional fifth-round pick in 2026.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had five goals and 15 assists across 59 appearances with the Maple Leafs this season, his first in Toronto after the offseason deal that sent Mitch Marner to Vegas. The first-round pick in 2027 is top-10 protected, and the Maple Leafs will receive an unprotected first-round pick in 2028 instead. Colorado has three fifth-round selections in 2026, and Toronto will receive the lowest of the picks.

Roy notched a goal Saturday in a 3-2 shootout win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
It was Roy's first goal in 16 games (four assists). He has 19 points, including five goals, and just 50 shots in 52 games. Roy does win face-offs at a good clip (53.5 percent), and he's racked up 298 wins at the dot. Trouble is a one-dimensional center may cut it on the ice, but not in the fantasy arena.

Roy logged two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Roy helped out on Easton Cowan's opening goal and Bobby McMann's empty-netter. The 28-year-old Roy is really coming around with a goal and five helpers over his last six contests while occupying a middle-six role with time in all situations. He's up to 17 points, 41 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-6 rating over 39 appearances. He won't do a lot of anything, but he does a little of everything as a versatile and dependable forward.

Roy scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-0 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Roy's goal -- a tap past Jacob Markstrom's left pad -- came one second after a Leafs power play expired. It was his fourth goal of the season (36 games). Roy isn't a regular offensive contributor, but he does have four points (two goals, two assists) to go with nine hits over his last six games. With Auston Matthews (lower body) out after taking a puck off the foot, Roy may see more opportunity in the short term. It may not be enough to make him a fantasy asset at such a deep position, but the Leafs will go with the hottest hand given their desperate need for points, and Roy seems to be a touch warmer than Scott Laughton right now.

Roy scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
It came on the Leafs' first shot of the game -- Roy tipped a pass in tight on an odd-man rush. It was his 400th NHL game. Roy has three goals, eight assists, 35 shots and 204 face-off wins (54.3 percent). He's valuable on the ice, but not in the fantasy arena.

Roy delivered a two-assist performance Tuesday in a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The cerebral pivot has five points, including four assists, and six shots in his last four games. That total more than doubles Roy's output from his first 20 games (one goal, two three assists) in blue and white. Roy also has 32 face-off wins (62.7 percent) in this span.

Roy had a goal and an assist in a 7-2 win over the Penguins on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
His goal came on the power play. Roy has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two games, and seven overall, including two goals, in 22 games this season. Roy is excelling at the dot with a 53.1 winning percentage, but his scoring pace is well off his 41 point career high (70 games) set in 2023-24. His value is limited with his 24 shots and just one power-play point. Roy's goal was his first since Oct. 11, the second game of the season.
