Archibald posted an assist, four PIM, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald set up Darnell Nurse for the Oilers' first goal of the contest. The Oilers' offense was driven by the fourth line of Archibald, Jujhar Khaira and Tyler Ennis on Tuesday, but that's not likely to be the case in most games. Archibald is up to three goals, one assist, 48 hits, 14 blocked shots and eight PIM through 15 appearances this season in a checking-line role.

Archibald scored an empty-net goal on two shots and levied a team-leading six hits.
EDGE Analysis
Connor McDavid passed up a chance at the empty net to dish to Archibald, who had provided a key -- and painful -- blocked shot earlier in the third. It was the third goal of the year for Archibald, who teamed with Tyler Ennis and Jujhar Khaira to provide strong fourth-line minutes for the Oilers.

Archibald scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald restored a one-goal lead for Oilers with his tally at 19:46 of the first period. He started the game on the fourth line, bu the 28-year-old winger got more ice time as the game went on and even took over right-wing duties on Connor McDavid's line. It remains to be seen if head coach Dave Tippett will make Archibald's top-line promotion permanent -- if that happens, he'll gain some DFS appeal, while Jesse Puljujarvi will return to bottom-six obscurity. Archibald has two goals, 36 hits and a minus-4 rating in 10 appearances this season.

Archibald scored an empty-net goal and dished out a team-high six hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
A low-event game came to life in the third period, but Archibald's tally made sure it was the Oilers walking away with the win. The 28-year-old winger hasn't had much success in a bottom-six role so far -- the goal was his first point in five games to go with six shots, 22 hits and seven blocked shots. He won't have much fantasy value without an unlikely move to the top-six, but he is a steady source of physicality.

Archibald tallied a goal and two hits in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald got a turn on Connor McDavid's wing, and the latter set up the former for a goal just 45 seconds into the contest. That would be Archibald's only point in four games in the series -- he added 17 hits and five shots. The 27-year-old winger is better suited to a bottom-six role as a physical presence, but he chipped in with 21 points in 62 contests during the regular season.

Archibald posted an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald set up Riley Sheahan's empty-net tally to close out the win. The 27-year-old winger has notched four points through four games in March. For the season, Archibald has 21 points, 63 shots on goal and 160 hits through 60 outings. He's not likely to keep up his recent run of success for much longer.

Archibald signed a two-year contract extension with the Oilers on Friday that will net him $1.5 million on average annually, Ryan Rishaug of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald has performed reasonably well on a one-year deal with the Oilers this season, racking up 20 points (12 goals and eight assists) over 59 games. He should fill a bottom-six role for Edmonton for the next two campaigns and will provide some physicality (160) up front in addition to chipping in as a scorer.

Archibald scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Playing the left side on Edmonton's third line with Riley Sheahan and Zack Kassian, Archibald drew the Oilers to within 4-2 with a tap-in goal eight minutes into the third period. It was his 12th goal of the year, matching the 12 he scored last season for Arizona. The 27-year-old has been a versatile role player in his first year as an Oiler, moving throughout the lineup as needed.

Archibald scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald skated with Tyler Ennis and Connor McDavid in the contest. It's been a productive spot for Archibald, who can typically produce when he gets top-line duties. The 27-year-old right wing has 11 goals, 19 points, 156 hits and 60 shots through 57 contests. Archibald can be useful in DFS when he's deployed on a scoring line, and the added physicality is a bonus.

Archibald scored an empty-net goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Archibald reached double-digits in goals for the second straight year with his tally Sunday. He's at 17 points, 57 shots and 147 hits through 53 contests this season. He's likely to stay on the third line until some of the Oilers' depth forwards return from injury -- Archibald has typically worked as a fourth-liner in hi career.
