Josh Archibald: Placed on unconditional waivers
Archibald was placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract Saturday.

Archibald signed a two-year, $1.6 million deal with the Lightning on Saturday.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Dishing out hits
Archibald is pointless in his last seven contests, including Wednesday's win over Colorado, but continues to rack up hits with 19 over that seven-game stretch.
Hits are about the only fantasy value that Archibald has provided of late, as he has managed just seven shots, four blocks and four PIM during his pointless streak. Stuck in a fourth-line role, Archibald could find himself periodically scratched from the lineup in favor of Alexander Nylander as well as potentially being dropped whenever Nick Bonino (abdomen) returns to action.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Puts up assist
Archibald notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
Archibald was playing in just his second game since missing 18 with a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old helped out on Pierre-Olivier Joseph's opening tally in the first period. Archibald is up to four goals, three assists, 44 shots on net, 116 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 32 contests this season. He'll likely continue to log fourth-line minutes, though he could be an occasional scratch if head coach Mike Sullivan wants a different look among his depth forwards.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Available against Avs
Archibald (lower body) will be ready to face Colorado on Tuesday, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
Previously deemed a game-time call, Archibald was deemed available by coach Mike Sullivan following Tuesday's game-day skate. It will be Arhcibald's first game back in the lineup since Dec. 18 versus the Hurricanes, a stretch of 18 outings on the shelf. The 30-year-old Archibald figures to slot back into a bottom-six role where he will be looking to end a 10-game pointless streak.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Game-time call Tuesday
Archibald (lower body) will be a game-time decision Tuesday against Colorado, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
Archibald has been practicing in a regular sweater and is now nearing his return. The 30-year-old has missed the last 18 games and hasn't scored a point since Nov. 25. He'll need to be activated from injured reserve officially before he can get back in the lineup.

Archibald will have just one more chance to return to action before the All-Star break against San Jose on Saturday. Whenever the 30-year-old winger is given the all-clear, he figures to slot into a bottom-six role and will no doubt be eager to end his current 10-game losing streak.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Full practice participant
Archibald (lower body) practiced without limitations Tuesday but won't be in action versus the Panthers, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Archibald was shifted to long-term IR in order to potentially free up some cap space to activate Kris Letang (lower body) but has already missed the required number of games and can be added back to the active roster at any point. Prior to his absence, Archibald was mired in a 10-game pointless streak during which he managed 11 shots, 39 hits and four blocks while averaging 9:38 of ice time.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Moved to LTIR
Archibald (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday, CapFriendly reports.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Not cleared for contact
Archibald (lower body) practiced in a non-contract sweater Tuesday, Pens Inside Scoop reports but will make the trip for Wednesday's matchup with Ottawa.
Considering Archibald hasn't been cleared for contact, he probably shouldn't be expected to play versus Ottawa on Wednesday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Even once given the green light, Archibald may have to serve as a healthy scratch periodically and could struggle to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Archibald was on the ice prior to Tuesday's practice. He has four goals and six points in 30 contests this season. The 30-year-old last played Dec. 18.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Placed on IR
Archibald (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday retroactively to Dec. 18.
Archibald has already missed the Penguins' last three contests and with his retroactive placement on IR can be activated as soon as cleared to play. With Archibald unavailable against the Red Wings on Wednesday, Drew O'Connor and Danton Heinen should continue to feature on the fourth line, though call-up Drake Caggiula could push for an opportunity.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Game-time decision against Rangers
Archibald (lower body) is considered a game-time call versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Pens Inside Scoop reports.
Archibald is currently mired in a 10-game pointless streak during which he has recorded just 11 shots and averaged a mere 9:38 of ice time. Even if the Saskatchewan native is cleared to play, he will likely remain in a fourth-line role, limiting his opportunities to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Dealing with lower-body injury
Archibald suffered a lower-body injury that kept him out of practice Monday, Pens Inside Scoop reports.
Archibald should probably be considered questionable at this point to suit up against the Rangers on Tuesday. If the winger does miss out, Drew O'Connor figures to step into a fourth-line role. For his part, the 30-year-old Archibald has six points in 30 games this year and is currently mired in a 10-game goal drought.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Pointless streak continues
Archibald failed to record a point against Columbus on Tuesday, his fifth straight game without getting on the scoresheet.
Archibald has logged less than 10 minutes of ice time in two of his last five outings, so his lack of offensive production shouldn't come as a shock. More of a defensive specialist, Archibald is averaging 1:47 of ice time on the penalty kill this year and figures to remain in that role long term, limiting his opportunities to provide fantasy production.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Good to play Wednesday
Archibald (undisclosed) will play Wednesday against Washington, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Archibald missed Saturday's 3-2 loss to Seattle because of the injury. He's projected to play on the fourth line with Filip Hallander and Ryan Poehling on Wednesday. Jeff Carter (upper body) is also making his return for the Penguins. Samuel Poulin and Kasperi Kapanen are expected to be healthy scratches.

Penguins' Josh Archibald: Game-time decision versus Caps
Archibald (undisclosed) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup with Washington, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Even with Archibald healthy, he could still find himself watching from the sidelines if Jeff Carter (upper body) is also cleared to return. Prior to getting hurt, Archibald scored a goal in back-to-back games, though that didn't stop the Penguins from falling into a seven-game losing streak. If he does play, Archibald should be expected to fill a bottom-six role.
