On April 4 at 3:00 PM ET, the Colorado Avalanche face the Dallas Stars in an NHL matchup. Markets cover three dimensions: the moneyline winner (Avalanche vs. Stars), and combined goal totals across five thresholds (O/U 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5). All resolution hinges on the final official score, including overtime and shootout adjustments.
Kalshi and Polymarket resolve on fundamentally different underlying events. Kalshi settles on spread outcomes (win margins of 1.5+ or 2.5+ goals), while Polymarket settles on moneyline (who wins) and total goals (combined score thresholds). These are logically incompatible settlement bases for the same game.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume Kalshi and Polymarket markets move together. A Kalshi YES (e.g., Colorado wins by >1.5) can occur independently of Polymarket outcomes (e.g., Avalanche moneyline or O/U 6.5). Arbitrage or hedge strategies must account for the fact that one platform's YES does not imply the other's YES. Monitor both platforms separately.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Distinct stance: Kalshi resolves YES exclusively on spread outcomes—Colorado wins by >1.5 goals, Colorado wins by >2.5 goals, Dallas wins by >1.5 goals, or Dallas wins by >2.5 goals. Each of the four markets resolves YES to exactly one of these margin scenarios. Quote: 'If Colorado wins by over 1.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes' and 'If Dallas wins by over 2.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket: Distinct stance: Polymarket resolves on moneyline (Avalanche vs. Stars winner) and total goals scored (O/U 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 combined goals), plus a spread market (Stars -1.5 and Avalanche -1.5). These outcomes are independent of Kalshi's spread logic. Quote: 'This market will resolve to Over if the Avalanche and Stars combine to score 7 or more goals' (O/U 6.5) and 'If the Avalanche win, the market will resolve to Avalanche.'
