Evander Kane didn't take long to be an impact player for the Edmonton Oilers again. He required one game to shake off the rust of a lost regular season before producing a pivotal moment in Edmonton's 7-4 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday.

Injuries hampered Evander Kane to the point he and the Edmonton Oilers decided in the Stanley Cup Final last year that he could not keep playing.

The Edmonton Oilers faced the prospect of going down 3-0 to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 3 of their first-round series, but former Buffalo Sabre Evander Kane played a key role in the Oilers 7-4 comeback victory at Rogers Arena on Friday.
