Buries opening goal Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Yamamoto tallied at 2:24 of the first period after taking a stretch pass from Vince Dunn. This was Yamamoto's fourth goal in December, giving him seven tallies on the season. The 25-year-old winger is up to 11 points, 40 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 36 appearances. He's likely to remain in a bottom-six role, as Tomas Tatar has fit in well on the Kraken's top line.

Pots first two goals in win Yamamoto scored a pair of goals on four shots in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Yamamoto struck twice in the first period, setting the Kraken on the right path quickly. The 25-year-old has four points over his last two contests, following an 11-game point drought. Yamamoto is up to six tallies, four assists, 29 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 31 appearances this season. He continues to hold down a fourth-line role, and it's unlikely he gets out of the bottom six barring a dramatic improvement on offense.

Impact Yamamoto opened the scoring early in the second period, gathering a stretch pass from Will Borgen before beating Sergei Bobrovsky on a breakaway, before adding an assist on Pierre-Edouard Bellemare's tally in the third. The two-point effort snaps an 11-game scoring drought for Yamamoto. The 25-year-old winger now has four goals and eight points through 30 games this season. Yamamoto won't offer consistent scoring upside in a bottom-six role, though he has averaged 2:40 minutes on the power play.

The former Oiler has picked up his second multi-point game of the season as he snaps a seven-game point drought in the process. On the season, Yamamoto has three goals and six points in 18 games.

Records two points Monday Yamamoto collected a goal and an assist in Seattle's 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.

Impact It was Yamamoto's first multi-point game of the campaign and brought him up to two goals and two assists through 10 appearances. The 25-year-old entered Monday's outing averaging just 11:15 of ice time this year and logged 11:36 versus the Lightning. On the plus side, Yamamoto has a regular role on the second power-play unit, which has led to him contributing two points with the man advantage in 2023-24. That will help him to make an occasional impact offensively throughout the campaign, but Yamamoto will probably need to secure a top-six role before he'll have a chance to be a regular contributor.

Chips in with assist Yamamoto registered a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Yamamoto has a goal and an assist over the last two games after coming up empty in his first three contests with the Kraken. The 25-year-old winger set up Jaden Schwartz's first-period tally. Yamamoto has added six shots on net, three hits and a minus-3 rating through five appearances. His fourth-line role isn't likely to lead to much offense, but he's maintained a spot on the second power-play unit.

Heads to Seattle Yamamoto signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Seattle on Sunday.

Impact Yamamoto slipped to 10 goals and 25 points in 58 appearances with the Oilers last season after scoring 20 goals and 41 points over 81 contests during the 2021-22 campaign. He was bought out by the Red Wings this week following a trade with Edmonton. Yamamoto may occupy a fourth-line spot with the Kraken going into 2023-24.

Placed on unconditional waivers Yamamoto was placed on unconditional waivers by the Red Wings on Friday for the purposes of buying out his contract, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

Impact Yamamoto was acquired from the Oilers with Klim Kostin on Thursday. Yamamoto and the Red Wings were unable to come to terms on a new contract, so Detroit decided to part ways with the winger. Yamamoto would have had a $3.1 million salary cap hit had he remained with the Red Wings, but will now cost Detroit $433,334 as a cap hit this season and $533,334 in 2024-25. Yamamoto scored 10 times and added 15 assists in 58 games in 2022-23.

Kailer Yamamoto and Klim Koston traded to Detroit for future considerations Edmonton Oilers take XX with second round pick of 2023 draft

JUNE 29, 2023 • EDMONTONJOURNAL.COM

Brought in for nothing Yamamoto and Klim Kostin were traded to the Red Wings from the Oilers on Thursday in exchange for future considerations.

Impact Yamamoto carries a $3.1 million cap hit that almost certainly led to Edmonton's decision to part ways with him despite not getting anything in return from Detroit. With his new club, the winger should be in contention for a spot in the middle-six. Selected with the 22nd overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, Yamamoto has seemingly failed to live up to expectations considering he has reached the 30-point threshold just once in his four-year NHL career.
