Nicolas Roy Moving Up To Top Line
3 years agoVegas Golden Knights forward Nicolas Roy is expected to center the first line in Thursday's battle with the Senators. The 24-year-old joined Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith at Wednesday's practice. With William Karlsson (foot) out, Brett Howden got a look on the line in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Toronto but didn't see a lot of action and now drops to the fourth line. Roy has notched three points in seven games this season, firing off 12 shots and delivering eight hits. It should be a good opportunity for him to boost his numbers, as the Senators have started to struggle and give up over three goals (3.33) per game.
