After tallying the only goal during Thursday night's 2-1 loss to Orlando, the forward scored both goals for the Rays in their first win of the season at Florida on Saturday. All three of Archambault's goals have come on the power play, and he has the only man-advantage goals for the Stingrays so far this season.
