Archibald (undisclosed) returned to practice Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald missed Saturday's game against Seattle with an undisclosed injury, but it appears he'll be ready to return to the Pittsburgh lineup prior to Wednesday's contest against the Capitals. The 30-year-old winger has three goals through his first 11 games this season while racking up 34 hits in a bottom-six role.

Archibald isn't playing against Seattle on Saturday because of an undisclosed injury, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald had contributed a goal in each of his last two games, so this injury will disrupt that hot streak. He has three goals, eight PIM and 34 hits in 11 contests this season while averaging 10:20 TOI. Archibald will probably continue to serve in a bottom-six role once he recovers.

Archibald went plus-2 with a goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Following moderate service time with the Coyotes and Oilers, respectively, Archibald is back with the team that took him in the sixth round (No. 174 overall) of the 2011 draft. His fourth-line, penalty-killing role doesn't lend itself to fantasy value, but Archibald is a fearless winger for a Penguins team currently leading the Metropolitan Division standings.

Archibald signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Penguins on Wednesday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald was limited to one assist in eight games with the Oilers last year after suffering from myocarditis after contracting COVID-19. He was also hampered by Canada's border restrictions, though that should be less of a problem now that he's stateside. The 29-year-old will provide physicality and perhaps some penalty-killing skill in a bottom-six role for the Penguins.

Archibald notched an assist, three hits, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 8-2 win over the Kings in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald has played in three of the Oilers' last four games, and the team has found a travel workaround that allows him to play games in the US. The 29-year-old helped out on a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tally in the third period. Archibald was limited to one assist in eight regular-season appearances, and he should be expected to serve as a rotational depth option during the playoffs.

Archibald is eligible to travel to LA for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Kings due to a medical exception for having had myocarditis earlier this season, Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald is still unvaccinated against COVID-19, but he'll nonetheless be able to travel to the States during the playoffs and perhaps beyond. He's expected to slot into a third-line role for Game 2 versus LA.

Archibald was activated from his team suspension Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

As an unvaccinated player, Archibald is suspended by the Oilers when they play outside of Canada. The Oilers are at home Saturday against the Avalanche, but he'll be a healthy scratch for that contest. They'll head stateside again for their next two games -- as such, Archibald isn't expected to draw in again until next Saturday versus the Golden Knights at the earliest.

Archibald notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald needed just two games to set on the scoresheet this season, and he's added five hits and five PIM. The 29-year-old winger missed five months of the season while recovering from myocarditis, and he's unlikely to play much more than a fourth-line role if he sticks in the lineup regularly.

Archibald (chest) has been activated off injured reserve and is expected to make his season debut Saturday versus Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald has yet to play this season due to his battle with the long-term effects of COVID-19, but the 29-year-old winger should slot into a bottom-six role for Saturday's contest. Archibald picked up 13 points through 52 games last campaign.

Archibald (chest) was a full participant in practice Sunday, Jack Michaels of Oilers Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald is on long-term injured reserve as he recovers from the lingering effects of his battle with COVID-19, but he took a major step in the right direction Sunday. Since he's taking contact in practice, it likely won't be long until Archibald is cleared to make his season debut.
