Out of action Wednesday Roy (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Stars, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Roy was getting help from the trainers during the morning skate before Tuesday's game, and while he played in that one, he appears to need to step out of the lineup. The Avalanche are expected to dress seven defensemen to cover his absence Wednesday. Roy's next chance to play is Friday versus the Penguins.

Picks up two points Saturday Roy scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, doled out three hits and logged two PIM in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Roy is off to a hot start this season despite filling a fourth-line role. He's picked up two goals, one helper, five shots, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over two contests. There's a little extra ice time to go around among the forwards since the Avalanche have rolled out a lineup with seven defensemen in both games, though one or both of Zachary L'Heureux or Logan O'Connor could come back from their respective lower-body injuries next week to fill out the forward group.

Pots game-winner in barn burner Roy scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.

Impact Roy saw 12:12 of ice time from a fourth-line role Wednesday, though that number might be a bit inflated since the Avalanche were forced into dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Roy should be a decent depth scorer this year, and he's versatile enough to move around the bottom six as necessary. He produced 25 points, 76 shots on net, 71 hits and 40 blocked shots over 74 regular-season outings between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs last year.

Scores in Game 2 win Roy scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 2.

Impact Roy continues to provide decent depth scoring for the Avalanche from a bottom-six role. He's earned three goals, one assist, eight shots on net, 10 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over six playoff contests. Roy has seen inconsistent power-play time during the postseason, so he may not be able to sustain his recent scoring success throughout the full playoff run.

Extends point streak Roy scored a goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kings in Game 4 of the Western Conference first round.

Impact Roy has cracked the scoresheet in each of the last three games, tallying three points (two goals, an assist), three shots on goal, five hits and three blocked shots. Don't expect Roy to have a big role on offense in the rest of the playoffs, though, as he figures to remain in a bottom-six role until further notice.

Plays hero in overtime Roy scored the game-winning goal, added three hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings in Game 2.

Impact The goal was Roy's first since March 22 versus the Capitals, which was the last game he played prior to an upper-body injury. He had two assists over the last six games of the regular season, giving him a total of 25 points across 74 appearances between Colorado and Toronto for the year. Roy will likely occupy a bottom-six role for much of this postseason. In previous playoff runs, the veteran forward has earned 10 goals and 32 points over 79 appearances over five postseasons, including the Golden Knights' 2023 Stanley Cup championship.
