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.

Roy notched an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
This was Roy's second game back after he missed three contests due to an upper-body injury. He logged 19:20 of ice time Friday, the second time in his last three outings he's been over the 19-minute mark despite being listed in a middle-six role. Roy has five points, 23 shots on net, 22 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 21 appearances in his first year with the Maple Leafs.

Roy (upper body) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's clash with Columbus, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy will be back in the lineup following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body problem. The Quebec native is currently mired in a 17-game goal drought during which he managed two assists, 17 shots and 18 hits while averaging 15:13 of ice time.

Roy (upper body) participated in Monday's practice, according to Mark Masters of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has missed the last three games, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. However, he appears to be progressing. Roy has contributed one goal, three assists, 21 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 19 hits across 19 appearances this season.

Roy (upper body) was moved to injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Roy's placement on IR is retroactive when he was last in the lineup Saturday, so he's eligible to return in time for Wednesday's tilt in Columbus. The 28-year-old has a goal and four points in 19 outings this year. Scott Laughton (upper body) was activated in a corresponding move, and he's expected to draw into the lineup for Thursday's clash against the Blue Jackets.

Head coach Craig Berube said Tuesday that Roy (upper body) will miss a couple of games, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy had already been ruled out for Tuesday's home game versus the Blues, so Berube's latest comments aren't encouraging for the 28-year-old's short-term status. The Leafs have matchups against the Blue Jackets on Thursday and in Montreal on Saturday, but their next game after that isn't until Nov. 26, which could be a realistic date for Roy to return to the lineup if his recovery goes smoothly.

Roy will miss out against St. Louis on Tuesday with an upper-body injury, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy is currently stuck in a 17-game goal drought, during which he has registered 17 shots and two assists. At this point, the 28-year-old Quebec native could be in danger of missing the 30-point threshold for the first time since 2020-21 when he was with Vegas. With Roy out, Jacob Quillan was recalled from AHL Toronto and will step into the third-line center role.
