Roy was assigned to AHL Laval on Monday. - Roy spent the past week with the Canadiens, logging a hit, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating while averaging 10:57 of ice time over four appearances. However, he'll now head back to the minors, which could signal that Patrik Laine (knee) is on the cusp of returning to game action. |

Roy was sent down to AHL Laval on Monday. - Roy made 23 appearances for the Canadiens last year and racked up four goals and nine points while averaging 12:08 of ice time. He appeared to be in the mix for a role with the NHL club to begin the regular season, but it looks as though he'll be left off the Opening Night roster. However, the 21-year-old recorded 13 goals and 42 points in 41 AHL appearances last year and will likely be in the conversation to be called up if he has a hot start to the 2024-25 campaign. |

Roy is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him out 4-6 weeks. - Given the Canadiens' last game is April 16, there's a decent chance Roy's campaign is over, but the team's update did not rule him out for the year. If he is unable to suit up again, he'll finish with nine points in 23 outings this season, which would allow the 20-year-old to retain rookie status in 2024-25. |

Roy will be sidelined indefinitely due to an undisclosed injury, the team announced Wednesday. - Roy logged 12:21 of ice time against the Oilers on Tuesday and will travel back to Montreal for further evaluation. At a minimum, the 20-year-old center should be expected to be out of action for the next three games, though it certainly sounds like it could be longer. In Roy's stead, Gallagher should be in line for a promotion to the second line, though Josh Anderson could also be in contention. |

Roy scored his third goal of the season in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes. - The 20-year-old gave Montreal a 1-0 lead early in the first period, but it was all the offense the visitors could muster. Roy has been quietly productive of late, picking up two goals and six points over the last nine games while seeing shifts on the second power-play unit and recording a surprising plus-5 rating. A fifth-round pick in 2021, he's looking like he could be a draft-day steal for the Habs. |

Roy scored a goal on one shot and had two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators. - Roy stole a puck in the neutral zone and beat Juuse Saros with a laser to the short side for the game-tying goal that set up overtime. The tally snapped a 13-game scoring drought for Roy, who has two goals and five assists over 17 games since being called up from AHL Laval. The winger has bounced around the middle six but lately has taken up residence on the second line and as part of the second-unit power play. |

Roy, a fifth-round pick in the 2021 Draft, looks like he could be a real asset for the Habs -- after producing 13 goals and 32 points in 40 games for AHL Laval to begin the season, he's collected a goal and five points in his last nine NHL contests and has worked his way onto the second power-play unit. |

It was the first point for Roy in four games since being called up from AHL Laval on Feb. 10. The 20-year-old native of Quebec had a goal and an assist during an earlier six-game stint with the parent club. Roy was promoted due to the lower-body injury suffered by Rafael Harvey-Pinard, who is out until at least mid-March. |

Roy had an assist and one shot on net over 11:43 of ice time in Saturday's 9-4 loss to Boston. - Roy lead a break and delivered a well-placed feed for Joel Armia's first-period tally. It was the second point in the last three games for Roy, who scored his first NHL goal in Wednesday's win over the Devils. He was called up from AHL Laval a week ago and could stay with the parent club, which sits outside playoff positioning. If Montreal trades veterans while continuing a rebuild process that began in earnest in 2022-23, it's easy to see Roy maintaining an regular spot on the roster. |

Roy scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over New Jersey. He also had a block and a hit over 12:32 of ice time. - The 20-year-old Roy potted his first NHL goal in his third NHL game. Montreal took advantage of the Devils' botched line change, as Roy finished a 2-on-1 break with linemate Sean Monahan. The rookie is filling in for Josh Anderson (lower body), but the scoring-starved Canadiens may find room for Roy once the veteran is ready. He was a productive scorer at the junior level and during his rookie season in the AHL. |

He entered the lineup for the unavailable Josh Anderson (lower body) and mostly skated on a line with Sean Monahan and Joel Armia. He also played on the second-unit power play. A scoring machine in junior hockey -- 97 goals over 121 games the previous two seasons -- Roy had 12 goals and 18 assists over 34 games as an AHL rookie. It's unclear if Roy will remain up with the team when Anderson returns. |

He's played on both of the goal-medal winning junior teams, including stints on a line with Connor Bedard, the consensus No. 1 prospect in this year's draft. "He's a jack-of-all-trades," said Team Canada coach Dennis Williams. "He's done it all for us. He's been good on the forecheck. He's been good tracking. Good on the walls. Making plays offensively with his good skill set and finishing off plays." Roy looks like a good fit for what Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis is trying to build. |
