Description
This market resolves based on the total number of games played in the 2026 NHL Playoffs First Round series between the Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings. The market settles Over if more than 5.5 games are played (i.e., 6 or more games), and Under if 5.5 games or fewer are played (i.e., 5 or fewer games). Resolution uses official NHL data or credible consensus reporting.
Kalshi contains three contradictory markets with different thresholds (6.5, 4.5, and 5.5 games), creating logical impossibility where all three cannot simultaneously resolve YES. Polymarket defines a single coherent Over/Under 5.5 threshold. This is a data integrity failure on Kalshi that makes settlement unresolvable.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade the Kalshi markets in this group. The three Kalshi conditions are mutually exclusive in their phrasing but presented as separate markets—if 6 games are played, markets 1 and 3 both claim YES, but market 2 also claims YES. This violates basic market logic. Polymarket's single market is the only resolvable instrument here.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Three separate market conditions listed: (1) 'If above 6.5 games...resolves YES', (2) 'If above 4.5 games...resolves YES', (3) 'If above 5.5 games...resolves YES'. These create a logical contradiction—any series with 6+ games triggers all three, any series with 5-6 games triggers conditions 2 and 3, and any series with 4-5 games triggers only condition 2. The structure suggests three distinct markets but the resolution logic is incoherent.
Polymarket: Single coherent market: resolves Over if more than 5.5 games played (i.e., 6+ games), Under otherwise. Includes explicit fallback: if series incomplete by May 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET, resolves per games actually played. If playoffs cancelled or no winner declared by deadline, resolves 50-50.
