Yamamoto scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Both points came in the second period as the Mammoth flipped the script on an early 1-0 deficit. Yamamoto has had trouble maintaining a consistent spot in the lineup, but made the most of his opportunity with Lawson Crouse (illness) unavailable. Saturday's performance marked Yamamoto's first game-winner and first multi-point effort of the season in 29 appearances and may have earned him a little leeway.
