Hemsky's return should help the Oilers offense put a few more pucks in the net. However, he likely won't push any of his teammates off the top line as the top line continues to dominate.
Hemsky is a force when healthy so let's hope for your fantasy team he is close to returning.
Hemsky is skating for the second consecutive day. Not sure if he will replace Jordan Eberle on the top line when he returns.
Certainly a good sign that he is practicing with the team. Expect it to be a little while before he returns to the lineup.
Sounds like yet another year of touch-and-go with Hemsky. Last season he only played in 47 contests and has missed five of the last seven which prorates to under 25 games. Keep him only if you have available space on your bench.
In the meantime, Jordan Eberle will take his place on the top line. Stay tuned for a further update on the often-injured winger.
Not skating today is certainly an indication he won't play tonight. Stay tuned for a further update on the team's number one right wing.

No word on how long he will be out of the lineup. In his first game of the season, the top line RW added an assist. Stay tuned for a further update.
Getting into games prior to the regular season essentially guarantees his health when the season begins. Last season Hemsky was limited to 47 games but performed well with 14 goals and 42 points. Expect him to line up with Taylor Hall and Sam Gagner.
Hemsky was planning on getting healthy for the beginning of the season but it appears he will now have a setback. The often-injured winger has missed 105 games over the last three seasons. Expect a winger like Jordan Eberle or Taylor Hall to benefit from his absence.
