5-on-5 adjusted expected goals from a few sources:
56.9% EDM - Evolving Hockey
56.4% EDM - Natural Stattrick
54.0% EDM - Hockey Viz
51.4% EDM - MoneyPuck
Actual 5-on-5 goals 4-3 LAK. All in all, pretty close affair that the Oilers deserved to win, but the high-leverage moments went the Oilers' way skewing things as you noted: twice as many powerplays as the Kings (just wait for the uproar if/when this goes the other way) and a 50/50 goal review going their way.
McDavid absolutely killed the Kings with 5 all-situations assists (4 primary) and >70% expected goals at 5-on-5. Raisaitl with his specialty 2 powerplay points and a team-worst <20% expected goals at 5-on-5. One-man team.
