Roy scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Roy ended a 45-game goal drought and also earned his first point since Feb. 2 versus the Islanders. The 31-year-old defenseman is playing in a top-four role, but he is mostly in that spot for his shutdown skills. He has two goals, 16 points, 83 shots on net, 99 hits, 124 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 65 outings this season.

Roy notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Roy missed three games due to a lower-body injury. The defenseman saw 19:23 of ice time in his return, and with the Olympic break starting later this week, he should soon get plenty of rest if he's not at 100 percent just yet. Roy has put up a goal, 14 helpers, 69 shots on net, 78 hits, 106 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 54 appearances as a regular in the Capitals' top four this season.

Roy (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's clash with Detroit, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roy is currently mired in a six-game pointless streak and hasn't found the back of the net in 34 straight outings. With Rasmus Sandin (lower body) also in question, the duo of Declan Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath may have to continue holding down the third pairing.

Roy posted an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The helper snapped a 10-game slump for Roy. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to be a steady source of physical play in a top-four role, but his offense can waver. For the season, he has 11 points, 52 shots on net, 50 hits, 85 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 40 appearances. He's a little behind the scoring pace that has seen him average 25 points per year over the last three regular seasons.

Roy notched three assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Roy has five helpers over his last five games, and he's added 14 blocks and a plus-6 rating in that span. The 30-year-old continues to see ample playing time in a top-four role, though mostly in a defensive capacity. He's at one goal, eight assists, 37 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-19 rating over 28 appearances. Roy is on track to top the 20-point mark for the fifth year in a row, but he might miss out on the 100-hit threshold.
