Mammoth's Kailer Yamamoto: Distributes trio of assists
Rotowire
Yamamoto notched three assists, including two on the power play, and added two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Sharks.
These were Yamamoto's first points in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him four contests. The 28-year-old was rolling before the injury, and he has a chance to rebuild his momentum while the Mammoth are missing Nick Schmaltz (lower body), Logan Cooley (upper body) and Dylan Guenther (upper body). That has opened up a top-six job for Yamamoto, as well as time on the first power-play unit. Over 12 outings this season, the winger has three goals, seven assists, 24 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-2 rating. View him as a short-term option in fantasy with the potential for more if he sticks in a prominent role when the Mammoth get healthy.

Mammoth's Kailer Yamamoto: Stays hot with goal
Rotowire
Yamamoto scored a goal on four shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Lightning.
Yamamoto continues to impress from the third line. He has three goals, four assists, 20 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-5 rating over seven appearances, which has all but solidified his place in the lineup after he started the year as a healthy scratch. Yamamoto can do a little of everything, though he won't stay at a point-per-game pace all year. It would take a significant slump to see him come out of the lineup any time soon.

Mammoth's Kailer Yamamoto: Tickles twine in win
Rotowire
Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.
Yamamoto started the year as a healthy scratch, but he's now played in five straight games. He's produced two goals, three assists, 12 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-2 rating. That kind of offense makes it unlikely he comes out of the lineup anytime soon, and he may even be worth adding as a depth forward in fantasy. Yamamoto won't stay this hot since he's on the third line, but he's showing he can still contribute in the NHL.

Mammoth's Kailer Yamamoto: Bags two points in season debut
Rotowire
Yamamoto tallied a goal, picked up an assist, posted a plus-2 rating, put two shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over Buffalo.
Yamamoto wasted no time in getting involved in his season debut Saturday, as he leveled the score at one apiece just over 10 minutes into the opening period. He later recorded a secondary helper on Anders Lee's tally late in the second period. The 28-year-old Yamamoto had a solid bounce-back season in 2025-26, where he compiled 13 goals and 23 points across 59 regular-season outings. He will likely continue to rotate roles throughout Utah's bottom six in the new season, where he should be in line for a decent chunk of scoring opportunities.
