The Dallas Stars announced forward Ales Hemsky will return to the lineup Saturday when they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The 33-year-old hasn't played this season after suffering a groin injury with Team Czech Republic at the World Cup.
Hemsky scored 39 points in 75 games with the Stars last season. The veteran winger is expected to line up with center Tyler Seguin and captain Jamie Benn.
In a corresponding roster move, the team placed winger Jiri Hudler on injured reserve.
