Joshua Archibald (born October 6, 1992) is a Canadian-born American professional ice hockey right winger currently playing for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Archibald was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the sixth round (174th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, but grew up in Brainerd, Minnesota.

Playing career

After moving to Brainerd, Minnesota at age 15, Archibald played high school hockey with Brainerd High School.[1] He was a finalist for the Minnesota Mr. Hockey Award in 2011.[2] He then played college hockey at the University of Nebraska Omaha from 2011 to 2014. He was selected as the WCHA Rookie of the Week in November 2011.[3] At Nebraska Omaha, Archibald played on a line with future Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Jake Guentzel.[1] In 2013–14, Archibald was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, marking him as one of the ten best players in men's college hockey;[4] he was also named All-NCHC First Team,[5] and won the NCHC's Player of the Year and Forward of the Year awards.[6]

Pittsburgh Penguins

On May 16, 2014, Archibald signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins.[7] Archibald made his NHL debut on March 5, 2016, in a home game against the Calgary Flames[8] but was soon reassigned to the Penguins AHL affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

He was recalled back to the Penguins on February 11, 2017, which is also when he scored his first 2 NHL goals in a game against the Arizona Coyotes. However, he was returned to the Penguins AHL affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins two games later. He was recalled to the Pittsburgh in late March and competed in the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals, lifting the Stanley Cup after teammate Jake Guentzel.[9]

On July 12, 2017, Archibald re-signed with the Penguins on a two-year, one-way contract with an average annual value of $675,000.[10][11]

In the 2017–18 season, Archibald made the Penguins' opening night roster. On December 1, 2017, he was reassigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for a conditioning stint.[12]

Arizona Coyotes

On December 19, 2017 the Penguins traded Archibald, along with Sean Maguire and a 6th-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Michael Leighton and a fourth-round pick in 2019. This trade's purpose was to clear space for a follow-up trade which brought defenceman Jamie Oleksiak to Pittsburgh from Dallas.[13]

Edmonton Oilers

On June 25, 2019, at the conclusion of his contract and as an impending restricted free agent, Archibald was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Coyotes, releasing him as a free agent.[14] He was signed to a one-year, $1 million contract with the Edmonton Oilers on July 16, 2019.[15]

On March 6, 2020, Archibald signed a two-year, $3 million contract extension with the Oilers.

International career

Archibald played with Team USA at the 2012 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.[16]
