Latest news
Yakemchuk scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Flyers.
With the score tied 1-1 midway through the third period, Yakemchuk unleashed a one-timer from the blue line that zipped through traffic and got past Joseph Woll. It was Yakemchuk's first goal of the season and the second of his career in eight regular-season NHL games, and both of the 21-year-old blueliner's points in 2026-27 so far have come as part of the second power-play unit. He may lose that assignment once Jake Sanderson (lower body) is cleared to return after getting injured in the Senators' opener, but Yakemchuk is making a strong early impression to begin his first full campaign.

Yakemchuk is expected to be one of the main storylines for the Senators when camp opens in September, Steve Warne of The Hockey News reports.
Yakemchuk is believed to be in competition for a third-pairing role, though the more experienced Nikolas Matinpalo is in his way. Between the regular season and playoffs last year, Yakemchuk logged a goal and three assists over his first five appearances at the NHL level. The 20-year-old defenseman is still a bit green in his own zone, but his offensive upside could help him earn his place. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can afford to wait and see how this turns out, but those in dynasty formats may want to make space for Yakemchuk as soon as Opening Night.

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.

Yakemchuk has been added to the active roster by the Senators, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports Sunday.
Following Saturday's 2-0 defeat in Game 1 against the Hurricanes, the Senators have added their crop of Black Aces to the roster with AHL Belleville's season officially in the books. Alongside Yakemchuk, Ottawa also added Graeme Clarke, Arthur Kaliyev, Xavier Bourgault, Oskar Pettersson and Tyler Boucher to the roster.

Yakemchuk (concussion) was returned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.
Yakemchuk was in the concussion protocol, but his demotion to the minors suggests that he has the green light to play again. In four NHL contests this season, the 20-year-old blueliner has tallied one goal on five shots, one assist and four blocks while averaging 14:32 of ice time.

Yakemchuk (concussion) doesn't have a timeline for his return to the lineup, per Claire Hanna of TSN on Thursday.
Yakemchuk sustained the injury in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Florida. He may be unavailable for at least one week while going through concussion protocol, but an exact timeline for his return is unclear. He has one goal, one assist, five shots on net and four blocked shots across four NHL appearances this season.
