I'll go with Oilers in 6.

I feel like the Kings were a better counter to the Oilers with all of their mobile D-men and two strong two way centers in Kopitar and Danault.

Vegas was kind of the opposite of Calgary this year in the respect that they had middling at best underlying advanced stats, but finished top 5 in PDO. 13 wins in OT/SO as well.

Something that tips in Vegas's favor is they were the least penalized team in the league in the regular season, and the best way to stop the Oilers PP is just to stay out of the box.

Goaltending could be a coin flip.
