Nicolas Roy News

After being acquired from t he Hurricanes as a part of the Erik Haula trade, Roy split the 2020 campaign between the NHL and AHL. With the Golden Knights, he had 10 points (5G / 5A) in 28 games while scoring seven goals with 15 assists (22 points) in 27 games. Signing a two-year contract means he's signed through 2022 and will still be an RFA at the end of the deal.

Roy has appeared in eight straight games with the Golden Knights and he'll likely be in the lineup on Tuesday. This is probably just for some extra cap savings as we get closer to the NHL Trade Deadline.

With Cody Glass and William Karlsson both still out, Roy will return to the fourth line on Friday. Roy has two goals and three assists (five points) in 14 NHL games this season.

Tomas Nosek is expecting the birth of his child, so Roy will replace him on the Golden Knights' fourth-line on Thursday. It will be his first NHL game since December 2nd and the 6-foot-4, 208 lbs. centre has one goal and two assists in seven games this year.

Roy has spent most of his season in the AHL, scoring six goals with 10 assists (16 points) in 22 games. During his brief time in the NHL, he has amassed one goal and two assists in seven games.

Roy was in the Golden Knights lineup last night but gets sent back to the AHL after the team acquired Chandler Stephenson from Washington.

Cody Eakin is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury, so Roy comes back up from the AHL. He has split his first two months between the two leagues, compiling six points (2G / 4A) in 11 AHL games and three points (1G / 2A) in six NHL contests. He is expected to centre the fourth line with Tomas Nosek and Ryan Reaves on his wings on Monday.

Roy has been in the lineup for five straight games and had assists in his last two games but will be replaced by Nicolas Roy in the lineup on Saturday.

Roy returns to the NHL because Vegas starts a four-game road-trip on Tuesday but also because Alex Tuch was hurt in their last game. Roy, who scored a goal in his season debut (Oct.27), would likely take Tuch's spot in the lineup if he can't play in Columbus. During his time in the AHL, the 22-year-old centre has picked up just one assist in seven games.

Roy scored his first career goal on Sunday but gets sent back to the AHL on Monday. The Golden Knights are off until Thursday, so this could simply be a paper move but Alex Tuch is also nearing a return to the lineup so Roy could be clearing a roster spot for him to be activated.

Roy was selected in the fourth-round (No.96 overall) in the 2015 NHL draft. Since then, Roy has appeared in just seven career NHL games but is coming off of a 17-goal, 19-assist (36 points) season with Charlotte (AHL). Roy will likely start in Chicago (AHL) given the depth of the Golden Knights lineup.

Roy was a fourth round pick of the Oilers in 2015 and has started the season with five goals and two assists (seven points) in his first six AHL games. The 21-year-old centre played one game with the Hurricanes last season.

Roy, 21, was a fourth round pick (No.96 overall) in 2015 and has picked up 37 points (10G / 27A) in 68 games with the Checkers this season. Roy will make his debut on the fourth line with Joakim Nordstrom and Valentic Zykov.
