This suspension is the second one that Archibald has received<\/p>\n<p>During the regular season, Archibald scored seven goals and six assists for 13 points. He also added 37 minutes in penalties.

Archibald&#8217;s hit was cited as one that turned the tide in Game 3. They need all the help they can get. Archibald&#8217;s suspension definitely didn&#8217;t help with morale. While he has yet to score a single point in the playoffs, he&#8217;s still valued as a fourth-line grinder with the team. It&#8217;s doubtful that losing Archibald will have much of an offensive impact on the roster, but it may affect locker room culture. The Oilers are in dire straits against the Jets. Game 4 is a make-it-or-break-it game for Edmonton. Time will tell whether or not Archibald&#8217;s suspension had an effect on the rest of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"KP97uzWiRNFEcfc0tPHd-Q\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1319293262\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'KP97uzWiRNFEcfc0tPHd-Q',sig:'BwnrnIQO0DOkLXuRWdXei9-0pj86Nso2q_vUIfkPluI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1319293262',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NHL Department of Player Safety announced that Edmonton Oilers forward Josh Archibald has been suspended for one game for clipping.
