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

Golden Knights' Nicolas Roy: Three points in Monday's win
Rotowire
Roy recorded one goal and two assists in Monday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
Roy endured a slow start to the season and registered just one point across his first five appearances. However, he's turned things around of late with three multi-point efforts over his last five contests, bringing him up to seven points (three goals) across 10 outings in 2024-25. Roy has yet to record a power-play point this season, and he's serving primarily in a bottom-six capacity, so his opportunities are somewhat limited, which will likely cause his offensive pace to slow as the campaign progresses.
