3 days agoWashington Capitals defenseman Matt Roy (personal) will not travel with the team when they face the Bruins in Boston on Tuesday evening. Roy is tending to a family matter. Fantasy managers should monitor his status, but he will likely also miss their next contest on Wednesday evening in Carolina. He will likely return to the starting lineup when the Capitals return to D.C. on Friday, even when they host the Chicago Blackhawks. While Roy is out of the starting lineup, fantasy managers should expect Dylan McIlrath to enter the lineup and play on the bottom defensive pairing alongside Martin Fehervary. Over his last five games, Roy has tallied three points (two helpers) with six hits and six blocked shots. Through 63 total games this season, Roy has scored three goals and added 21 helpers.

5 months agoWashington Capitals defenseman Matt Roy (lower body) is expected to return from a 10-game absence when the team faces Nashville on Wednesday. The 29-year-old makes his return at a good time because the Capitals defense has just lost Jakob Chychrun (upper body). Chychrun's absence means that we should see a lot of Roy in Wednesday's game. Roy has the potential to make an impact at both ends. He tallied 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 81 games with the Kings last season while also recording 197 blocks and 152 hits. He will work with Rasmus Sandin on the second defensive pairing versus Nashville.

6 months agoWashington Capitals defenseman Matt Roy (lower body) is expected to miss some time after getting hurt over the weekend. He suffered a lower-body injury as Washington opened its 2024-25 campaign on Saturday with a 5-3 loss to New Jersey. The game also marked Roy's debut for the Capitals after he inked a six-year, $34.5 million contract with the team in the offseason. Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery doesn't expect Roy to be out for long but said he will miss a "decent amount of time." Roy has started life in D.C. on the second defensive pairing. Dylan McIlrath jumped into his spot in Monday's practice and looks set to make his season debut against Vegas on Tuesday.

3 years agoLos Angeles Kings defenseman Matt Roy (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and appears set to play Thursday against Edmonton. He hasn't played since Mar. 12, sitting out 12 games. Roy has had a solid season with 17 points, 140 shots, 104 hits and 87 blocks in 58 games. He was logging some very heavy minutes before getting injured and should face a busy time straight away in his return, with the Kings still missing Drew Doughty (undisclosed), Mikey Anderson (upper body) and Sean Walker (knee) from the back. Kings forward Brendan Lemieux (lower body) has also come off Injured Reserve ahead of Thursday's action.
