Yakemchuk scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in AHL Belleville's 4-0 win over Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Yakemchuk has a pair of multi-point efforts so far this season, his first at the AHL level. The 20-year-old defenseman is at three goals, eight assists and 28 shots on net, but his defensive flaws are showing with a minus-9 rating. The scoring potential is tantalizing, and dynasty managers should be patient as he gains professional experience. It doesn't look like the Senators will call him up while Thomas Chabot (upper body) is out, but another injury or two on the big club's blue line could give Yakemchuk a chance to make his NHL debut.

Yakemchuk was loaned to AHL Belleville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Yakemchuk produced 17 goals and 49 points in 56 regular-season games for WHL Calgary in 2024-25. He will begin his professional career in the minors, but it wouldn't be surprising if he made his NHL debut at some point this campaign.
