Roy unlikely to play in Nashville; L'Heureux remains out

Nicolas Roy is unlikely to return to the Colorado Avalanche lineup against the Nashville Predators on Sunday. The forward travelled with the club while recovering from a lower-body injury, according to NHL.com's lineup report.

Roy has missed Colorado's past five games. RotoWire, citing Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette, reported that he practised in a noncontact jersey Saturday and remained doubtful for the Nashville game.

Zachary L'Heureux will also be unavailable. NHL.com listed him as week to week with an upper-body injury, keeping him out of what would have been his first game against his former team.
