Hemsky's right shoulder is getting better
Ales Hemsky - W - Edmonton Oilers
July 5, 2011 - 1:00 PM ET

Ales Hemsky's right shoulder still isn't 100%, but he says he's on track.

Shoulder problems are nothing new to Hemsky. He was limited to 22 games in 2009-10 because of a left shoulder injury that required surgery, so when he experienced discomfort in his right shoulder last season he tried to play though it. Hemsky eventually agreed to have surgery for a torn labrum. He's capable of recording 80 points if he can stay healthy next season.
