The 29-year-old winger will miss at least three of the team’s remaining eight games, starting with Saturday’s contest against the Calgary Flames at Rexall Place.
It appears as if he is being held out for more precautionary reasons but Hemsky at least there is no point keeping him on your roster with the DTD tag.
Hemsky returns to the lineup tonight. Ben Eager is out.
Hemsky missed the Oilers last game with a sore foot after getting hit by a slap shot vs. the Red Wings. The Oilers have lost five straight so they will gladly welcome Hemsky back to the lineup. He has eight goals and five assists in 23 games this season.
Hemsky got hit in the foot by a Jakub Kindl slapshot during yesterday's 3-0 loss to the Red Wings. Hemsky has eight goals and six assists in 23 games this season.
Losing my balance and don't see straight sometimes. Couldn't even see on the ice in Vancouver. Day to day. Every day is feeling better.
Sounds like Hemsky is coming along slowly but he should miss at least another game. The star right wing has struggled this season with only three goals and 11 points over 22 games.
