Reasoning: To win the Stanley Cup Finals, the Kings must have won the Western Conference Finals to reach the Stanley Cup. Winning the Cup logically necessitates winning the Western Conference Finals. The reverse does not hold — winning the Western Conference Finals means they could still lose the Stanley Cup Finals.
