Archibald was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald was one of two Pittsburgh forwards -- along with Oskar Sundqvist -- to be sent back to the minors, which could be an indication that a couple injured Pens are ready to suit back up. Jake Guentzel (concussion) seems the most likely returnee, with fantasy owners and fans alike hoping Evgeni Malkin (upper body) is the other. The 24-year-old Archibald will rejoin the Baby Pens where he has tallied 16 goals and 13 assists while posting an impressive plus-26 rating.

Archibald was recalled from AHL WIlkes/Barre-Scranton on Thursday, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald has been up with the Pens in an earlier stint this season, scoring two goals across three games played. The 24-year-old will once again provide Pittsburgh with forward depth -- a position where injuries have started to rack up since Archibald was sent down on March 16.

Archibald was sent down to AHL Wilkes/Barre-Scranton on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald's reassignment could mean injured wingers Patric Hornqvist (concussion) or Bryan Rust (arm) are nearing a return for Friday's matchup with New Jersey. The 24-year-old Archibald logged just one game during this most recent stint in the NHL, logging just 9:19 of ice time and one shot on goal in that lone appearance. With the depth of talent ahead of him, it seems doubtful the Saskatchewan native will secure a permanent place on the Pens' 23-man roster any time soon.

Archibald was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
The winger has two goals in two NHL games this year, but his AHL stats say a bit more about his scoring potential, as he has 27 points in 57 games. With Tom Sestito suspended and Carl Hagelin (lower body) out with injury, the Penguins need some bodies, but don't expect Archibald to be a fantasy stud.

Archibald was returned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Not much was expected out of Archibald upon his most recent call-up to the NHL, though he ended up dropping jaws in his season debut last Saturday, skating to a plus-2 rating with a pair of goals -- including a shortie -- over 9:10 of ice time. The fleet-footed winger could receive another call-up if and when injuries threaten the defending champs; he's also a consideration for the big club when the Penguins face some of the league's top power-play teams.

Archibald scored twice -- including a short-handed goal -- in his season debut Saturday in Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy winger skated on a lower line but made the most of his 10:03 (second lowest among forwards). Archibald, who had 22 points in 48 AHL games prior to his recall, gives Pittsburgh another depth option capable of killing penalties. He's not guaranteed of playing Tuesday against Vancouver, but he certainly made a good impression Saturday.

Archibald was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
In the wake of an injury to Bryan Rust (arm), Archibald makes his first trip to the big club for the season. The 24-year-old has put up decent numbers for the AHL's Penguins this season, posting 11 goals and 11 assists to go with a plus-24 rating. Assuming neither Rust nor Carl Hagelin (concussion) are ready to go Saturday, Archibald could see the ice for his second career NHL game.

Archibald was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald's stay with the big club lasted all of one game, as he played 5:02 as a member of the fourth line in Saturday's win over the Flames. The Penguins added veteran Tom Sestito from the minors in a corresponding move to assume Archibald's roster spot, allowing the 23-year-old to see more ice time back with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Archibald was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The former sixth-round pick has had a decent season with the AHL affiliate (14 points over 51 games), but certainly nothing to write home about. Even if he does end up drawing into the lineup for the Penguins in his stay, it's unlikely his role will result in much fantasy-relevant stats. Archibald's first chance to play with the parent organization comes Saturday against the Flames, and any action would represent the first time he's taken the ice at the NHL level.
