Going into high-traffic areas is beginning to take it's toll on Ales Hemsky. He suffered two significant injuries last season and finished the year on the IR again. Each of his last two seasons have been impacted by injuries with Hemsky playing a combined 69 games since 2008-2009. When he was healthy, he was excellent and though consistently playing the toughs for Tom Renney - he broke even on the chances sheet.
