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.

Roy will get Monday's day off after his wife gave birth to their first child earlier in the day. Brandt Clarke will take Roy's place in the Kings' lineup.

Roy missed the final two games before the All-Star break but will play Tuesday vs. Edmonton. Roy has had a productive season, registering 13 assists in 45 games but is still searching for his first goal.

Roy has been out since January 28th but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Wild. With Roy back in, Austin Strand may be the one to come out. Roy had three assists, 14 shots and a plus-2 rating in eight games this season.
