Yakemchuk picked up two assists Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Carolina in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round.

Game 4 was Yakemchuk's NHL playoff debut. He registered three shots in 19:34. The 20-year-old defender delivered 40 points, including 10 goals, in 54 games with AHL Belleville. He finished second in rookie scoring from the blue line and 12th overall among AHL defenders. Yakemchuk also had one goal and one assist in four regular-season appearances with the big club in 2025-26. He should be in the mix for an NHL roster spot out of training camp in the fall.
