Capitals' Matt Roy: In non-contact jersey
Roy (lower body) is at practice Thursday in a non-contact jersey, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Roy was injured Opening Night and has missed the last seven games. The 29-year-old defenseman is close to returning, but he remains doubtful versus the Canadiens on Thursday. Roy had five goals and 25 points in 81 regular-season games for the Kings last season.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Nearing return
Roy (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against Montreal, but even if he misses that game, he should be back soon, Ethan Cadeaux of Monumental Sports Network reports Wednesday.
Roy hasn't played since logging 8:39 of ice time in Washington's season opener Oct. 12. He had five goals and 25 points in 81 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2023-24. Roy might serve in a top-four capacity once healthy, especially if Jakob Chychrun needs to miss time after exiting Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers due to an upper-body injury.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Moves to IR
Roy (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
In a corresponding move, Washington summoned forward Michael Sgarbossa from AHL Hershey. Roy has been out since Oct. 12, making him eligible to come off the IR list when he's ready to play. However, it remains unclear when he will be available to return.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Skates before practice Friday
Roy (lower body) skated before practice Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Roy played Opening Night and left the game early with the injury. He has missed the last five games and has yet to practice with the Capitals since the injury. Consider him doubtful for Saturday's game in Tampa Bay.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Not ready to return
Roy (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Flyers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Roy was labeled day-to-day Oct. 14, but there hasn't been an update on his status since. As such, the defenseman can be considered out indefinitely until it's reported he's returned to practice. Dylan McIlrath continues to hold down a spot in the bottom four during Roy's ongoing absence.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Will miss game time
Roy (lower body) will be out of action for some games despite a day-to-day designation. Head coach Spencer Carbery told reporters Monday, "I don't think it's going to be crazy long but he's going to miss a decent amount of time," per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.
While Carbery's comment is about as clear as mud, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting Roy to play in at least the next 3-4 games due to his lower-body injury. With that being the case, the blueliner could be a candidate for a stint on injured reserve in order to free up a roster spot. Dylan McIlrath is expected to move into Roy's spot on the blue line alongside Martin Fehervary.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Labeled day-to-day
Roy (lower body) won't practice Monday but is considered day-to-day, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Roy looks to be questionable, at best, to play in Tuesday's matchup with Vegas, though he hasn't been officially ruled out at this point. If the blueliner does miss any time, Trevor van Riemsdyk figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time while Dylan McIlrath could make his 2024-25 season debut on the third pairing. Barring a long-term absence, the 29-year-old Roy should still be capable of putting together a third straight 25-point campaign this year.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Leaves game with injury
Roy won't return to Saturday's contest against the Devils due to a lower-body injury.
Roy appeared to catch a rut in the ice and stumbled as a result, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. The 29-year-old Roy played one shift after that incident before exiting the game. The right-shot blueliner is in the first season of a six-year contract with the Capitals. Expect an update on Roy's status ahead of Washington's contest against the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Locks into six-year agreement
Roy signed a six-year, $34.5 million contract with the Capitals on Monday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Roy had five goals, 25 points, a plus-21 rating, 42 PIM, 152 hits and 197 blocked shots in 81 regular-season games with the Kings in 2023-24. As you'd suspect given the size of Roy's contract, the 29-year-old will likely serve in a top-four capacity, but the Capitals do have significant depth on the blue line now between Roy, Jakob Chychrun, Martin Fehervary, Rasmus Sandin, John Carlson, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Ethan Bear. It will be interesting to see how the Capitals' defensive situation shakes out, but this contract assures Roy will see a significant shutdown role.

Kings' Matt Roy: Two assists in loss
Roy notched a pair of helpers in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.
Roy was able to bring a six-game pointless streak to a close with his two helpers but it wasn't enough to stave off elimination for Los Angeles. Unless the Kings can come to an agreement soon, the blueliner is set to be an unrestricted free agent July 1. Roy should have plenty of offers if he goes to the open market after reaching the 20-point mark for the third consecutive campaign.

Kings' Matt Roy: Finds twine Saturday
Roy scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Roy is up to three points over seven contests since the start of April. The 29-year-old defenseman's tally Saturday stood as the game-winner. Roy has five goals, 25 points, 132 shots on net, 152 hits, 194 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 79 appearances this season, putting him one point shy of matching his career-best scoring total from last season.

Kings' Matt Roy: Hands out helper
Roy logged an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Roy helped out on Akil Thomas' second-period tally. This was Roy's second assist over the last five games, matching his point total from the previous 12 contests. The 29-year-old defenseman isn't a huge contributor on offense, but he's been solid enough all around to maintain a top-four role. Roy is up to 24 points, 130 shots on net, 151 hits, 194 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-20 rating through 78 appearances.

Kings' Matt Roy: Supplies assist in win
Roy notched an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Roy set up the first of Trevor Moore's three goals in the game. The helper snapped a five-game point drought for Roy, who is firmly on the Kings' second pairing regardless of how he does on offense. The 29-year-old blueliner has had a solid campaign with 23 points, 124 shots on net, 187 blocked shots, 149 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 74 appearances.

Kings' Matt Roy: Nets goal in win
Roy scored a goal, blocked three shots, went plus-3 and added 10 PIM in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Wild.
Roy's goal early in the second period was a back-breaker for a Wild team that couldn't get any bounces to go its way. The goal was Roy's first since Feb. 17, though he has earned five points over 10 contests in March. The 29-year-old blueliner can be a solid depth option in fantasy when he makes semi-regular contributions on offense. For the season, he has four goals, 22 points, 118 shots on net, 139 hits, 167 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-19 rating through 68 appearances.

Kings' Matt Roy: Earns assist Friday
Roy notched an assist and blocked six shots in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Roy set up Alex Laferriere's tally in the first period, which put the Kings ahead 2-0. With five helpers over his last 10 contests, Roy continues to put up decent offense for a second-pairing defenseman. He's at 21 points, 114 shots on net, 134 hits, 157 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 65 games this season, offering the Kings solid two-way production from the blue line.

Kings' Matt Roy: Supplies two helpers Thursday
Roy notched two assists, four hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
Roy helped out on a Pierre-Luc Dubois tally in the third period and later set up Kevin Fiala's goal in overtime. This was Roy's first multi-point effort since Jan. 15. The defenseman is up to 20 points for the third year in a row, and he's added 109 shots on net, 124 hits, 142 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 61 appearances. Look for Roy to continue to handle a heavy workload in the absence of Mikey Anderson (upper body).

Kings' Matt Roy: Picks up assist Saturday
Roy notched an assist, five hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.
Roy has racked up two assists, 11 hits and 12 blocked shots over his last five contests. The defenseman remains a fixture on the second pairing, a role that's likely to change under interim head coach Jim Hiller. For the season, Roy has 15 points, 110 blocked shots, 87 hits, 90 shots on net, 24 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 48 appearances. His offense is a little low, but he can help fantasy managers in formats that play with a wide range of categories.

Kings' Matt Roy: Back in action
Roy (personal) is expected to play Wednesday versus the Sabres, Austin Stanovich of The Hockey News reports.
Roy missed Monday's game to attend the birth of his child, but he'll be back after the short absence. The 28-year-old should slot into his usual second-pairing role while Jordan Spence is expected to be scratched.

He's at 14 points, 87 shots on net, 101 blocked shots, 72 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 44 contests overall.
