After a rough start to Round 1 for the Edmonton Oilers, they have managed to rally with a couple of strong performances on home ice to knot the series at two games.

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.

Evander Kane could barely stand up in the immediate aftermath of complicated, invasive surgery. Rarely does a professional athlete go under the knife to have two adductor muscles, one in either hip, and two sports hernias repaired to try to get back playing.
