On April 7 at 9:30 PM ET, the Edmonton Oilers face the Utah Hockey Club in a regular-season NHL matchup. Markets will resolve based on the final score including overtime and shootouts (with one goal added to the winning team's total in shootout scenarios). The event group includes moneyline (winner) and four total goals markets (O/U 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5).
Kalshi and Polymarket use fundamentally different resolution scopes. Kalshi resolves on goal-differential thresholds (spread-based outcomes), while Polymarket resolves on moneyline winner and total goals scored (over/under markets). The platforms will produce different YES/NO outcomes for identical game results.
Hero Tip:
If you bet on Kalshi's spread markets, you are betting on whether the margin of victory exceeds 1.5 or 2.5 goals—not simply who wins. On Polymarket, the moneyline resolves to the winner only, and separate over/under markets control total-goals exposure. Do not assume a Kalshi YES translates to a Polymarket YES for the same game outcome.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Distinct stance: Kalshi resolves all four markets on goal-differential thresholds only. Market 1 resolves YES if Utah wins by >2.5 goals; Market 2 resolves YES if Utah wins by >1.5 goals; Market 3 resolves YES if Edmonton wins by >1.5 goals; Market 4 resolves YES if Edmonton wins by >2.5 goals. No moneyline or total-goals markets are offered. Key quote: 'If Utah wins by over 2.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes' and 'If Edmonton wins by over 1.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket: Distinct stance: Polymarket offers a moneyline market (Oilers vs. Utah) that resolves to the winner regardless of margin, plus four separate over/under total-goals markets (O/U 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5) that are independent of the winner. Key quote: 'If the Oilers win, the market will resolve to Oilers. If the Utah win, the market will resolve to Utah' and 'This market will resolve to Over if the Oilers and Utah combine to score 5 or more goals.'
