Kings' Matt Roy: Assists in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Roy notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Roy has a helper in each of the last two games. The 28-year-old defenseman appears to be the Kings' first option to partner with Vladislav Gavrikov -- the duo has the potential to be a solid shutdown pairing. Roy has a bit more scoring upside between the two of them with 21 points in 64 contests, matching his career-best total from 67 outings a year ago. The 28-year-old has added 115 blocked shots, 93 hits, 115 shots on net and a plus-1 rating this season.

Kings' Matt Roy: Posts helper in win
Rotowire
Roy notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.
Roy had an odd run for a defenseman -- he went 17 games without a helper while scoring four goals in that span. He finally played provider again Thursday by setting up a third-period Gabriel Vilardi goal. The addition of Vladislav Gavrikov to the Kings' blue line will potentially impact Roy's ice time. Roy will likely be limited to a bottom-four role the rest of the way. He's at 20 points (one shy of his career high) with 112 shots on net, 93 hits, 115 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 63 outings overall.

Kings' Matt Roy: Leads Kings in hits and blocks
Rotowire
Roy is the Kings' hits and blocks leader with seven and six, respectively, through the first two games.
Roy isn't expected to keep up anything close to this early pace, but he finished with over 100 hits and blocks in 2021-22 and should do so again this season if he stays healthy. He hasn't recorded a point yet in 2022-23, and the 27-year-old defenseman has never been a major contributor in that regard. He set a career high last season with 21 points in 67 contests.
