This event group covers a single professional AHL (American Hockey League) matchup between the Texas Stars and San Jose Barracuda scheduled for March 31, 2026 at 10:00 PM EDT. Markets on both Kalshi and Polymarket are betting on the outcome of this game, with resolution based on the final score including overtime and shootout results.
Kalshi's resolution criteria contains a logical contradiction where both possible game outcomes (Texas Stars win OR San Jose Barracuda win) are mapped to the same resolution state (Yes), making the market fundamentally unresolvable. Polymarket uses a categorical outcome model that correctly distinguishes between the two teams.
Hero Tip:
Kalshi's market is unresolvable as currently written. This is a data integrity failure on the Kalshi platform. Treat Polymarket as the authoritative source for this event. Avoid trading Kalshi until the platform issues a corrected specification or explicit clarification on intended resolution logic.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi:
Binary Yes/No market with contradictory logic. Both Texas Stars winning and San Jose Barracuda winning are stated to resolve to Yes, leaving no valid No outcome. Key Quote: If Texas Stars wins...resolves to Yes. If San Jose Barracuda wins...resolves to Yes.
Polymarket:
Categorical outcome market resolving to the name of the winning team. Includes explicit edge case handling: postponement keeps market open until completion; cancellation with no makeup resolves 50-50. Shootout adds one goal to winner's score for resolution purposes. Key Quote: If Texas Stars win, resolve to Texas Stars. If San Jose Barracuda win, resolve to San Jose Barracuda.
