Edmonton Oilers forward Ales Hemsky is injured, but it remains to be seen how long he'll be sidelined.

Hemsky, 23, hurt his right shoulder when checked against the boards during the first period of Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

He is scheduled to undergo tests late Wednesday.

"I can move it," Hemsky said. "But it's injured, [so] I don't want to move it too much.

"It's always frustrating to get injured. Hopefully, I will be back as soon as possible."

Hemsky ranks third in team scoring with four goals and 18 points in 23 games this season.

The Czech native has totalled 41 goals and 159 points in 234 NHL games since being drafted 13th overall by Edmonton in 2001.
