The Utah Hockey Club has recalled forward Kailer Yamamoto from the Tucson Roadrunners of the AHL.

Yamamoto, 26, has been a standout for Tucson this season, leading the team with 51 points (21 goals, 31 assists) in 51 games. He previously played three games for Utah in October 2024 but did not register a point and finished with a -1 rating.

Since being sent down, Yamamoto has proven himself as a strong depth scorer in the AHL, earning this call-up at a crucial time. With Utah in the thick of the Western Conference wild card race, adding a productive forward could provide a needed boost.

A former first-round pick of the Edmonton Oilers, Yamamoto has also spent time with the Seattle Kraken before joining Utah. In 306 NHL games, he has recorded 58 goals and 76 assists for 134 points.

Now, he’ll look to build on his strong AHL season and help Utah push for a playoff spot down the stretch.
