On April 12, 2025 at 8:00 PM ET, the Vancouver Canucks will face the Anaheim Ducks in an NHL regular season game. Markets cover both the moneyline (match winner) and multiple over/under total goals thresholds (4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5). Resolution is based on the final official score including overtime and shootouts, where a shootout win adds one goal to the winning team's total for scoring purposes.
Kalshi offers a suite of over/under markets on total goals (2.5 through 9.5 thresholds), while Polymarket provides both a moneyline (winner) market and a more limited set of over/under markets (4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 thresholds) plus two spread markets. The platforms diverge on market scope and available betting options, though both use the same underlying game result as the settlement source.
Hero Tip:
If you want to bet on extreme high-scoring scenarios (8.5+ or 9.5+ combined goals), Kalshi is your only option in this group. If you want to bet on the winner or specific spreads, Polymarket is required. Both platforms agree on how goals are counted (including overtime and shootout adjustments), so the divergence is about market selection, not resolution logic.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Distinct stance: Kalshi offers eight over/under total goals markets with thresholds from 2.5 to 9.5 (2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5), each resolving YES if the combined goal total exceeds the stated threshold. No moneyline or spread markets are provided.
Polymarket: Distinct stance: Polymarket offers a moneyline market (Canucks vs. Ducks winner), four over/under total goals markets (4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 thresholds), and two spread markets (Ducks -1.5 and Ducks -2.5). The moneyline and spreads are not available on Kalshi.
