Oilers overwhelm Flames in dominant Game 3 win

The Edmonton Oilers appear to belong.

After a wild and unpredictable back-and-forth in Calgary, it was one-way traffic in Game 3 for the Edmonton Oilers, who hammered the Flames 4-1 to take a 2-1 series lead over their provincial rivals in their Western Conference semifinal series and the Battle of Alberta.

Evander Kane scored a natural hat trick in six minutes in the second period to blow the game wide open, but what separated the Albertan outfits in Game 3 was the superstar play — or more specifically the superstar distribution — from the Oilers' two superstar players.
