Records three points Thursday Yamamoto scored two goals, supplied an assist and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Carolina.

Impact Yamamoto found the back of the net twice in a four-minute span near the start of the second period to give Carolina a 2-1 lead. He later recorded a helper on Michael Carcone's goal to secure the three-point performance. Overall, the 27-year-old Yamamoto is up to seven goals, seven assists, 29 shots on net and 18 hits across 32 games this season. The three-point effort was the third of his 10-year NHL career and the second multi-point game across his last four appearances. While Yamamoto has been a healthy scratch for periods of time this season, performances such as Thursday's could make him a regular contributor in Utah's bottom-six, which would boost his ceiling in fantasy.

Two points including GWG Yamamoto scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Both points came in the second period as the Mammoth flipped the script on an early 1-0 deficit. Yamamoto has had trouble maintaining a consistent spot in the lineup, but Saturday's performance marked his first GWG and first multi-point effort of the season in 29 games and may have earned him a little leeway, especially if Lawson Crouse (illness) misses additional time.

Yamamoto has scored in both of his games against Seattle since he joined Utah. The 27-year-old has managed eight points, 19 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 23 outings in a bottom-six role this year.

Impact Yamamoto has two points over three appearances after a stretch of two healthy scratches in three games. The 27-year-old winger was listed on the second line Wednesday, but his 11:08 of ice time suggests he's still more of a bottom-six forward in usage. He's provided three goals, two assists, 11 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-4 rating through 16 outings this season.

Impact Yamamoto scored his second goal of the season in this loss, breaking the deadlock for Utah at the 3:03 mark of the first period. The 27-year-old only has two goals this season, and while both have come over his last four games, the fact that he holds a bottom-six role in the lineup limits his scoring upside considerably.

On the board this season Yamamoto scored a goal on four shots on target, delivered one hit, had two penalty minutes and a plus-1 rating during his 12:10 of ice time in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Yamamoto is officially on the goal-scoring board in the 2025-26 season in his sixth game, tying the game at two early in the third period. The 27-year-old hasn't seen a ton of ice time this year, averaging a career-low 11:54 of ice time per night, and he's also spent a decent amount of time as a healthy scratch in the past couple weeks.

Generates helper in win Yamamoto recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Impact Yamamoto played in the first four games of the season, but he was scratched in five straight before entering the lineup again Sunday over Liam O'Brien. The 27-year-old Yamamoto will likely be confined to a bottom-six role, giving him minimal fantasy upside this season. He has a helper, two shots on net, two hits and a plus-1 rating across five appearances so far. He's on a two-way deal, but he figures to have a fair amount of job security at the NHL level at least until Alex Kerfoot (abdomen) returns, which isn't going to be until mid-December at the earliest. Yamamoto would require waivers to be assigned to AHL Tucson.

Re-signs with Utah Yamamoto signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Mammoth on Tuesday, according to PuckPedia.

He shouldn't be on most fantasy managers' radars for 2025-26.

Yamamoto is still negotiating a new deal with the Mammoth ahead of free agency, Craig Morgan of Arizona Insider reports.
