This event group covers the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Colorado Avalanche NHL game scheduled for March 16, 2026 at 9:30 PM ET. Markets span moneyline (winner), multiple over/under total goals thresholds (4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5), and spread betting (-1.5 Avalanche). Resolution depends on final score including overtime and shootout adjustments.
Kalshi and Polymarket express over/under thresholds using different language conventions. Kalshi uses fractional notation (over 4.5) without explicit goal counts, while Polymarket clarifies the exact goal threshold (5 or more for 4.5 line). Both should resolve identically in practice, but the phrasing divergence creates interpretation risk.
Hero Tip:
Use Polymarket's explicit goal-count language as your settlement reference. For Kalshi markets, cross-reference the fractional threshold: over 4.5 = 5+ goals, over 5.5 = 6+ goals, etc. Confirm Kalshi's official settlement methodology before large positions. Moneyline and spread markets are fully aligned.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Explicit over/under resolution: O/U 4.5 resolves Over if combined score is 5 or more goals; O/U 5.5 resolves Over if 6 or more; O/U 6.5 resolves Over if 7 or more; O/U 7.5 resolves Over if 8 or more. Moneyline resolves to winner (Penguins or Avalanche). Spread (-1.5 Avalanche) resolves to Avalanche if they win by 2+ goals, otherwise Penguins. Shootout adds 1 goal to winner's score.
Kalshi:
Eight over/under markets using fractional thresholds: over 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5. Each resolves Yes if combined goals exceed the stated threshold. Phrasing: 'If over 4.5 total combined goals are scored...then the market resolves to Yes.' No explicit goal-count clarification provided in source data.
