This event group covers a professional KHL (Kontinental Hockey League) ice hockey match between HC Sochi and CSKA Moscow scheduled for February 23, 2026 at 9:00 AM EST. Markets across Polymarket and Kalshi are pricing the outcome of this single game, with resolution tied to the final score including overtime and shootout results.
Kalshi market contains a logical contradiction: both possible game outcomes (HC Sochi win and CSKA Moscow win) are mapped to the same resolution state (Yes), leaving no valid No outcome. This makes the market fundamentally unresolvable and creates data integrity failure.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade the Kalshi version of this market. The resolution logic is broken. Trade only on Polymarket, which uses a standard winner-take-all binary structure. Contact Kalshi support to clarify whether this is a documentation error or an actual market design flaw before committing capital.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Winner-take-all binary market. Resolves to HC Sochi if Sochi wins, CSKA Moscow if Moscow wins. Postponement keeps market open; cancellation without makeup resolves 50-50. Includes shootout rule: one goal added to winner's score for resolution purposes. Key Quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve 50-50.'
Kalshi:
Logically contradictory structure. Market states both HC Sochi victory and CSKA Moscow victory resolve to Yes, with no defined No outcome. This violates binary market logic and makes resolution impossible. Key Quote: 'If HC Sochi wins... resolves to Yes. If CSKA Moscow wins... resolves to Yes.'
