Secures assist in return Roy notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Roy missed 11 games due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old took a spot on the third line and played 17:03 in Sunday's win, which could mean reduced roles for players like Tomas Hertl, Brett Howden and Tanner Pearson once Jack Eichel (illness) gets back in the lineup. Roy is up to 14 points, 52 shots on net, 26 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 32 appearances. He's a versatile player who features in all situations, so Roy will often see more ice time than his place in the lineup would suggest.

Lights lamp Friday Roy scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Roy ended a 10-game point drought with the second-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. He had 14 shots on net and went minus-5 during the slump, which also saw him slip back into a fourth-line role. Roy will play more than the average fourth-liner since he plays in all situations, but it typically takes a larger role for him to be reliable in fantasy. He's at six goals, 13 points, 48 shots on net, 24 hits, 29 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 28 appearances this season.

Deposits goal in win Roy scored a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Roy tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period. He lost his spot on the top line for this game, but he still saw 17:19 of ice time despite being the listed fourth-line center. Roy is up to five goals, 11 points, 29 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-2 rating over 16 appearances. While his even-strength usage isn't ideal, Roy adds enough points, shots and hits to be an option in deep fantasy formats, especially those where he has wing eligibility.

Shines in top-line twirl Roy scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Impact Roy was promoted to the top line when Mark Stone (lower body) missed Friday's contest. The jump in usage (20:36 of ice time) served Roy well, as he earned two points in the first period while playing on a line with Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev. This isn't unusual for Roy -- he's often moved up when injuries occur. He's produced four goals, six helpers, 23 shots on net, 16 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances this season, most frequently filling a middle-six role, though he's played on the fourth line at times as well.
