"Roy, who at 6'4" and 200 pounds brings physicality and grit, has, in his first season as a Maple Leaf, provided that sandpaper while chipping in offensively with a goal and four points and a plus/minus of -4 in 19 games played. Unfortunately, Roy, who provides that necessary depth at center, suffered what Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube on Monday after practice termed an upper body injury."
"Roy, who, as Leafs fans might remember, was traded on July 1, 2025, from the Vegas Golden Knights to the Leafs in the Mitch Marner deal, was coming off his best game as a Leaf. That Saturday night game, which ended in the visiting Leafs losing 3-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks, saw the 28 year-old Roy produce a season's best five shots on goal while also logging a season high of 19:45 playing time on a line with Matthew Knies and rookie Easton Cowan."
"Berube, following some fancy line juggling, had Max Domi taking Roy's place on the line with Knies and Cowan during Monday's Leafs practice. Meanwhile, forward Jacob Quillan was presented with his big opportunity after being brought up from the AHL's Toronto Marlies after Roy got hurt. Quillan during Leafs practice found himself on a line with Matias Maccelli and Bobby McMann."
Multiple Maple Leafs are sidelined ahead of the November 17 game, including Anthony Stolarz, Chris Tanev, Brandon Carlo, Scott Laughton, Auston Matthews and Nicolas Roy. Roy sustained an upper-body injury after contributing physical play and one goal and four points in 19 games this season. Roy was acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights on July 1, 2025 in the Mitch Marner trade and posted a season-best performance against Chicago with five shots and 19:45 of ice time. Max Domi filled Roy's spot in practice, and Jacob Quillan was recalled from the AHL and practiced on a line with Matias Maccelli and Bobby McMann. Carlo was placed on injured reserve retroactive to November 13.
