Hemsky scored his seventh goal of the season in Monday's win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Hemsky has struggled for the majority of the season, but he's been productive lately with five points in seven games since the All-Star break. Once this stretch comes to an end though, the 32-year-old, sitting on just 22 points on the season, will likely only be relevant in the deepest formats.

Hemsky led the team with seven shots and scored his sixth goal of the season in a 4-3 overtime win against Colorado on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hemsky was Dallas' best forward on a night where the big guns couldn't get going, and scored his goal flying down the ice before sniping it top shelf. Since returning from injury Hemsky has scored five points in eight games. While his best days are clearly over, he still has some skill and has the potential to collect a few points on a dangerous offensive team. He's worth picking up when he's on a hot streak but otherwise has very little fantasy value.

Hemsky put up an assist and three shots in Tuesday's win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Hemsky's recent play almost makes you forget that 22-game goal drought, over which he put up just two assists. In the six games since snapping that slump he has two goals and two assists. He's starting to look a little more reliable again.

Hemsky scored the goal Tuesday in a 3-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Hemsky now has five goals and 15 points on the season and on pace to post his second straight sub-40 point season. The 32-year-old's offense is clearly in decline and can barely stay on the team's top two lines. His shooting percentage has dipped over three straight seasons and there's no clear sign he can reverse that trend. He's only worth a bench stash in the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Hemsky had a goal and three shots through 15:19 of ice time in Saturday's overtime loss to San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
That goal breaks an ugly slump for Hemsky. He last scored on Nov. 12, a stretch of 22 goalless games. He put up just two assists over that slump as well. The slump is erased, but it doesn't mean Hemsky is back to his old self. You can't trust him until he shows that this goal won't be followed by another slump.

Hemsky (lower body) took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he will play Friday against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hemsky has missed the Stars' last six games with a lower-body ailment, but practiced fully Tuesday, which was the first indication he would likely return to action Friday against Anaheim. The 32-year-old winger has struggled a bit offensively this season, tallying just 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in 37 games.

EDGE Analysis
There's always the potential of production from Hemsky, but he's been on a painful slump lately. He last scored on Nov. 12. That's 21 games ago.

Hemsky has returned to the ice, but coach Lindy Ruff isn't ready to insert him in the lineup, reports Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Hemsky has been out since getting injured in a December 29 match against the Blue Jackets. At the time of his injury, he'd been a long slump, going without a goal in 21 straight games.

Hemsky has been placed on IR, following an injury in Tuesday's game, according to Mark Stepneski of the Stars' site.

Hemsky (lower body) has been ruled out of the remainder of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Hemsky appeared to suffer the injury when blocking a shot in the second period of Tuesday's tilt. The 32-year-old winger immediately headed to the locker room after the play, and was ruled out of the remainder of the game shortly thereafter. The Stars should provide an update on Hemsky's status following Tuesday's contest.
