Yamamoto scored two goals and added an assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Scouting Report
Has the skating ability and hockey skills to be a top-six NHL forward, but size (5'8", 153 pounds) will always be an issue. He plays with plenty of speed and energy, is a decent playmaker, has worked to improve his shot and can kill penalties. However, his lack of size and strength could limit production throughout his career.
Long Range Potential: Smallish, speedy two-way winger.
