Archibald signed a one-year contract with the Oilers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald had his best season yet as a pro in 2018-19, setting career highs in goals (12) and points (22) in 68 games with the Coyotes. The 2011 sixth-round pick will slot into a bottom-six role for the Oilers in 2019-20 and could eclipse the 25-point mark if he's able to stay healthy.

Archibald was not given a qualifying offer by Arizona prior to Tuesday's deadline, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald set career highs this season in games played (68), goals (12) and assists (10), so it's a little surprising to see the club let him hit free agency. Considering he carried a reasonable $675,000 cap hit, the 26-year-old winger should have no problem finding a landing spot for the 2019-20 campaign and could push for a regular spot in the 23-man roster.

Archibald ended a lengthy scoring draught Sunday night, scoring twice and adding an assist in the Coyotes' win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald hadn't tallied so much as a point in 12 games prior to Sunday night, spending most of his time on the third line. He's received more ice time this year than in any other year of his career, and his 22 points is double his previous career high. He's out there mostly for defensive purposes, as illustrated by his 153 hits and 38 blocked shots.

Archibald extended his point streak to four games with an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald's career-best point streak was extended by his secondary apple on the game's first goal to Derek Stepan. While killing off penalties is Archibald's bread and butter, he's also known as a fiery competitor who brings a lot of energy up front, so we can see him remaining productive in his current top-six role at even strength.

Archibald has rejoined the team and will play in Saturday's game versus the Oilers, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald was excused from the team as he went to spend time with his wife and newborn child, but he's ready for action again. The 26-year-old winger is expected to slot onto the fourth line again. He rarely produces with just eight points in 29 games this season.

Archibald is currently away from the team attending to a personal matter, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald is currently with his wife who is expected to give birth to their child soon, so it's safe to assume he won't be available for Thursday's matchup with the Canucks. It remains to be seen if he'll rejoin the team in advance of Saturday's matchup with Edmonton.

Archibald scored a pair of goals and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald's second goal of the night (and season) wound up being the game-winner, coming at 8:39 of the third period. His first goal of 2018-19 was scored earlier in the third and cut Minnesota's lead to one. The 26-year-old winger now has three points in 10 games.

Having finished serving his two-game sentence, Archibald is eligible to play Friday against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was serving a two-game ban for an illegal check to the head of Nashville's Ryan Hartman. Meanwhile, Archibald is pointless in nine games this season and has played to a minus-1 rating.

Archibald has been suspended for two games for delivering an illegal check to the head of Nashville's Ryan Hartman during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald only received a two-minute minor for the hit during Thursday's contest, which may have factored into the NHL Department of Player Safety's decision to hand him a multi-game suspension. The 26-year-old winger will be eligible to return next Friday against Colorado.

Archibald could be hit with a fine or suspension from the league for his hit on Ryan Hartman on Thursday, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Archibald appeared to make the head the primary point of contact, but the Department of Player Safety will certainly have the last say in the matter. The 25-year-old was put into the lineup over Dylan Strome on Thursday, so the two will likely be flipped if Archibald is given with a ban.
