Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Not going on road trip
Roy (lower body) will miss Colorado's upcoming road trip, which begins against Philadelphia on Monday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Roy also won't be available for Tuesday's matchup against New Jersey. He has already missed the last two games and didn't participate in Saturday's practice. Roy has earned two goals, four points, 10 shots on net, nine hits and four blocked shots in six appearances this season.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Won't play Friday
Roy (lower body) won't play in Friday's game against the Penguins, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Roy will be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to his lower-body injury. Head coach Jared Bednar said that Roy remains day-to-day but "could turn to week-to-week." Following Bednar's comments, it's not yet clear whether Roy will be available for Colorado's upcoming two-game road trip that includes games against the Flyers on Monday and against New Jersey on Tuesday.

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

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: 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.
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.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: 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.
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.

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

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: 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.
Roy has cracked the scoresheet in each of the last three games, earning three points (two goals, one 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.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: 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.
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.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Logs first helper since return
Roy produced an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Roy set up Nick Blankenburg's tying goal in the middle of the second period. The 29-year-old Roy missed seven contests due to an upper-body injury in late March and early April, and he's played in three straight games since he was cleared to return. The 29-year-old will fill a bottom-six role late in the campaign and into the playoffs, providing a little grit and defensive skill. Across 71 appearances between Colorado and Toronto this season, he's earned 24 points, 74 shots on net, 70 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He'll miss the 30-point mark for the first time since the shortened 2020-21 campaign.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Returning to lineup
Roy (upper body) is available for Tuesday's game in St. Louis, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
The Avalanche are now at full strength up front, as Roy and Valeri Nichushkin (upper body) will both be in Tuesday's lineup. Roy missed seven games due to his injury and will serve in a bottom-six role now that he's moved past his upper-body injury. The right-shot forward scored three goals in an eight-game span prior to getting hurt, but he hasn't recorded a helper since Feb. 3 in Edmonton, when he was still a member of the Maple Leafs.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Will miss next two games
Roy (upper body) will miss Saturday's game in Dallas and Sunday's match versus St. Louis, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Roy will be reevaluated ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Blues. The 29-year-old hasn't played since March 22 due to the injury. He has eight goals and 23 points in 68 outings between Toronto and Colorado in 2025-26. Roy will probably occupy a spot in Colorado's bottom six once he's healthy.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Expected to miss some time
Head coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday that Roy (upper body) will be out for "a little bit," Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Bednar added that the Avalanche want to give Roy time to get healthy, so expect the 29-year-old center to miss some games. Roy also didn't play in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Pittsburgh. He has eight goals and 23 points in 68 appearances between Colorado and Toronto in 2025-26. Roy will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Won't play Tuesday
Roy (upper body) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Penguins, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Roy scored a goal but logged just 8:40 of ice time versus the Capitals on Sunday. He had been over the 10-minute mark in the seven prior contests, so it appears he came out of that game at less than 100 percent. The Avalanche are getting a boost Tuesday with Ross Colton (upper body) and Logan O'Connor (hip) both ready to play.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Deposits goal Sunday
Roy scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.
Roy has three goals over nine games with the Avalanche since he was traded from the Maple Leafs. The 29-year-old forward offers less upside since he's in a fourth-line role now, one that has often featured limited ice time -- he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in six games for Colorado. Overall, the veteran center has eight goals, 23 points, 72 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-2 rating across 68 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Buries power-play tally
Roy scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Roy has scored twice in four outings with the Avalanche. While he was brought in to help the team's center depth, he played on the wing of Jack Drury in this contest. Roy is among the most versatile players on the roster, so he can move around as necessary to give head coach Jared Bednar new combinations. Roy is at seven goals (two on the power play), 22 points, 64 shots on net, 63 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 63 appearances between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs this season.

Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Gets first goal for new team
Roy scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.
This was Roy's first goal for the Avalanche, and it comes in his second game since he was acquired from the Maple Leafs on Thursday. The 29-year-old now has six goals, 21 points, 59 shots on net, 62 hits and 32 blocked shots over 61 appearances this season. He has started his Colorado tenure as the team's third-line center, though he could also move to the wing if fellow trade acquisition Nazem Kadri gets moved to the middle.
