Yamamoto is week-to-week with an ankle injury.
This is a huge blow for the Oilers, who loaded up at the deadline on Monday. Since Yamamoto came up from the AHL, the trio of Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins and Yamamoto have been red-hot. Yamamoto had 18 points (7G / 11A) in his last 16 games but will likely miss at least a couple of weeks. The newly acquired Tyler Ennis could be a replacement for Yamamoto.
