EDMONTON, AB -Oilers Head Coach Todd McLellan liked 2017 first-rounder (22nd-overall) Kailer Yamamoto's game in Calgary on Monday night.
"He looked like he performed very well," McLellan said on Tuesday. "He was very capable of handling his size in Calgary's building. He had very good anticipation skills and he seemed to pick concepts up."
