Yamamoto was credited with an assist during a 2-1 win over the host Flames on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto, who earned his first point in five games, drew the lone assist on Tyson Barrie's 100th career goal, developing from a shot from the point. The 24-year-old right winger previously earned two assists against the Coyotes on Dec. 7, a span of nine games. Yamamoto, who opened Tuesday on the second line, added one shot, one hit, one block and a plus-1 rating in 15:33 of ice time.

Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto's goal put the Oilers up 3-1 in the third period, but the lead didn't last. Both of his goals this season have come in the last week, and he has four points in six outings since returning from an upper-body injury that cost him 11 games. The winger has two goals, five helpers, 24 shots on net, 34 hits, eight PIM and a plus-6 rating through 19 appearances while frequently seeing middle-six minutes.

Yamamoto found the back of the net in a 5-2 victory over the Wild on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto's goal at 12:54 of the second period was the game-winner. It was also his first marker and sixth point in 16 contests this season. Perhaps just as important for Yamamoto as the goal itself is the fact that he fired four shots Friday after recording just 17 in his first 15 contests. The 24-year-old will need to start tallying shots like he did Friday if he wants to pick up his goal scoring pace.

EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto, who missed the previous 11 games with an undisclosed injury, dressed Monday and opened on the fourth line with Dylan Holloway and Brad Malone, but later skated with Connor McDavid. "It's been a tough first start to the year," Yamamoto told EdmontonOilers.com. The 24-year-old right winger seeks his first NHL goal since scoring against the Sharks on April 28. During his final five appearances last season, Yamamoto collected two goals and four helpers.

Yamamoto (undisclosed) didn't travel with the Oilers for their three-game road trip, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Yamamoto has already missed four straight contests due to his undisclosed injury, he could be designated for injured reserve at any point here in order to free up a roster spot. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old winger was mired in a season-long goal drought, having contributed just three helpers and 15 shots over those 13 appearances.

Yamamoto (undisclosed) may be ready to return in time for Saturday's matchup with Vegas, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Yamamoto is expected to be sidelined against the Kings on Wednesday, it certainly appears the 24-year-old winger has avoided a serious injury. Despite getting some looks in the top six to start the year, the Washington native has yet to score a goal this season and had just one shot in his last three outings before getting hurt.
