Roy (lower-body) will return on Wednesday in Nashville.

Roy exited Washington's season opener after playing only 8:39 time-on-ice and has not played since. The 29-year-old Roy signed a six-year contract with the Capitals in the offseason after spending the first six seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Kings. Roy's elite defensive skills and shot-blocking prowess will surely aid a Capitals club that already ranks seventh-best in the league defensively, allowing 33 goals through 11 games.
