Evander Kane and Evan Bouchard scored in a 10-second span in the third period and the Edmonton Oilers beat Los Angeles 7-4 on Friday night to cut the Kings’ series lead to 2-1.

Evan Bouchard scored twice in Game 3, including the game-winning goal, in a third-period comeback to give the host Edmonton Oilers a 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday and new life in their Western Conference first-round series.

The Edmonton Oilers are down 2-0 in the team’s best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Kings. The math people are flummoxed, and the eye test evaluators look toward Game 3 of the series with dread.
