Yamamoto posted an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto intercepted the puck and passed to Connor McDavid, who put up another highlight-reel tally. Since the holiday break, Yamamoto has been a bit more consistent on offense with two goals, three assists and 11 shots on net over eight contests. The winger is up to 12 points, 40 shots, 43 hits and a plus-7 rating through 31 appearances this season. He seems to be holding his own on the top line, though his fantasy value is likely limited to deeper formats.

Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto got the Oilers on the board at 17:02 of the first period. The winger has tallied twice over his last three games, but he has just four goals to go with four assists in 17 outings since the start of December. The 24-year-old is up to 11 points, 39 shots on net, 43 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 30 contests despite often seeing top-six usage.

Yamamoto scored a shorthanded goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto extended Edmonton's lead to 2-0 in the first period, beating a defender with a toe drag before firing a shot past Ilya Sorokin. It's just the third goal of the season for Yamamoto and his first since Dec. 15. The 24-year-old winger has struggled in an injury-plagued season, but his production could increase if he continues to play on the Oilers' top line alongside Connor McDavid.

Yamamoto notched an assist in Friday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto made a small contribution on offense with a secondary helper on Darnell Nurse's first-period tally. This was Yamamoto's second straight game with an assist, but it's also just the second time all season he's gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive contests. The struggling winger has two tallies, seven helpers, 31 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-6 rating through 25 outings. He'll continue to log middle-six minutes, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect a huge uptick in offense any time soon.

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.

Yamamoto logged a pair of assists in Wednesday's 8-2 victory over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto assisted on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' tally in the second period before setting up Brett Kulak later in the frame. It's the first multi-point game of the season for the 24-year-old winger, who returned Monday from an 11-game absence. Yamamoto has been held without a goal through 15 games this year while logging five assists.

Yamamoto delivered three hits in 18:31 of ice time during Monday's 3-2 loss to the visiting Capitals.
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.
