The Canucks have recalled Darren Archibald from Utica (AHL).

Archibald recorded a goal in his only game with the Canucks this season, building off of the six points (4G / 2A) in eight AHL games to begin the year. Archibald and Brendan Gaunce have been recalled after the Canucks announced that Chris Tanev was moved to IR and Brandon Sutter will miss at least one month.

The Canucks have re-signed Darren Archibald to a one-year, two-way extension.

Archibald split his 2018 season between the AHL and NHL. He collected 16 points (7G / 9A) in 25 games with Utica (AHL) and nine points (4G / 5A) in 26 games with Vancouver (NHL). Archibald has a power-forwards body (6-foot-3, 210 lbs.) and was the Canucks’ leader in hits/game during brief time with them. He’ll battle for a roster spot this fall, but could start the year in Utica again.
