Yamamoto and Klim Kostin were traded to the Red Wings from the Oilers on Thursday in exchange for future considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto carries a $3.1 million cap hit that almost certainly led to Edmonton's decision to part ways with him despite not getting much 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.

Yamamoto notched an assist, two hits and 10 PIM in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto has gotten on the scoresheet in the Oilers' last three wins, racking up a goal and three assists over five games in that span. That accounts for all of the winger's offense through 10 playoff contests, and he's added 19 hits, 11 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating. The 24-year-old will likely continue to be a middle-six option for the Oilers, especially if they opt for 12-forward lineups as they did Wednesday.

Yamamoto notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto set up Leon Draisaitl's second goal of the contest at 16:17 of the first period. The Oilers have opted for 11-forward lineups recently, with Yamamoto cycling in as the team rotates centers, though he's been mostly in a bottom-six assignment. The 24-year-old has three points, nine shots on net, 15 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through eight appearances.

Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto set up Klim Kostin's go-ahead goal in the second period, then put the Oilers ahead for good late in the third. The pair of points accounted for Yamamoto's only scoring in the six-game series. He added eight shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-1 rating while moving around the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto snapped a five-game point drought with his helper. The 24-year-old has had an uneven season, posting 10 goals and 15 assists over 58 contests, with injuries costing him significant chunks of the campaign. He should continue to be a part of the supporting cast on offense entering the postseason.

Yamamoto posted an assist and two hits in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto has recorded an assist in four straight games. He's not adding much else with three shots on net, four hits and a plus-3 rating over that span.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, 22 points (two shorthanded), 82 shots on net, 69 hits and a plus-9 rating through 50 appearances.

Yamamoto produced an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto has two goals and two helpers over his last four contests. He hasn't had many bursts of offense like this one over the course of the season, picking up 10 goals, 11 helpers, 82 shots on net, 69 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 49 outings. He remains in a top-six role, so the 24-year-old could still have some streaming appeal.

Yamamoto scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Yamamoto reached the 10-goal mark with his second-period tally. He also helped out on Darnell Nurse's goal with 15 seconds left in overtime, which got Yamamoto to the 20-point mark this season. The 24-year-old has earned seven of his points through 10 outings in March.
