Oilers sign Archibald to 2-year extension

The Edmonton Oilers signed forward Josh Archibald to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Friday.

It carries an average annual value of $1.5 million, TSN's Ryan Rishaug reports. That's a modest raise on the one-year, $1-million pact Archibald signed with the Oilers last July.

Archibald was set to be a pending unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. The 27-year-old has matched a career high with 12 goals this season, while also chipping in eight assists across 59 games.
