Kailer Yamamoto
RW - Seattle Kraken
Next Game
Kailer Yamamoto tallied three points for the Oilers Friday night, scoring two goals and picking up one assist in a 6-3 win over the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Yamamoto has not been much of a factor in the offensive zone of late for the Oilers, notching points in just three of his last eight games (five goals, two assists) for the club. The 24-year-old winger has yet to put things together on a consistent basis for fantasy owners, registering just 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 39 games so far this season.
Yamamoto had the opening goal for the Oilers early in the second period, then added an assist later in the same period. He finished with a plus-two rating, two shots on goal, 2 blocked shots and one hit in 20:48 of ice time.
Fantasy Impact
Yamamoto now has 16 goals and 13 assists in 62 games played this season. He has been playing well recently with a goal and an assist in four of his last five games.
Yamamoto had the primary assist on the Oilers first goal then added an insurance goal late in the third period to secure their win over Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Impact
The former first round pick has put up 3 points (2 goals, 1 assist) in his last two games and now has 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) in 58 games this season.
Kailer Yamamoto lit the lamp in the first and third periods and assisted on Connor McDavid's second period goal in the Oilers' 6-5 overtime loss to the Devils.
Fantasy Impact
Yamamoto's three points brought his season total to 11 and was a +1 for this game. He is also up to 34 hits. The Oilers could certainly use some extra help outside of their top line and would welcome an offensive surge from his position. He remains off the ice during power plays which certainly limits his opportunities.
Kailer Yamamoto lit the lamp with 28 seconds left in the game to secure Edmonton's 5-4 victory over St. Louis. He also added an assist earlier in the contest.
Fantasy Impact
Yamamoto has struggled to begin the season with only four points in 14 contests. However, playing along Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should allow for plenty of point opportunities going forward.
