This event group covers the San Jose Sharks vs. Boston Bruins NHL game scheduled for March 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET. Markets span moneyline (winner), multiple over/under total goals thresholds (4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5), and a spread bet (Bruins -1.5). Resolution depends on final game score including overtime and shootout adjustments.
Polymarket applies a +1 goal adjustment for shootout outcomes to all markets, while Kalshi markets do not reference shootout adjustments, creating a systematic 1-goal divergence in resolution thresholds when games reach shootout.
Hero Tip:
Monitor pre-game analytics for shootout probability. If shootout is likely, Polymarket O/U thresholds effectively shift down by 1 goal relative to Kalshi. For example, Polymarket O/U 4.5 (resolves Over at 5+ actual goals) becomes equivalent to Kalshi O/U 3.5 in a shootout scenario. Arbitrage opportunities exist if one platform underprices shootout-heavy matchups.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: All O/U markets (4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5) and moneyline explicitly state: 'In the event of a shootout, one goal will be added to the winning team's score for the purpose of resolution.' This means a 3-3 regulation tie + shootout = 7 combined goals for resolution, regardless of actual scoring.
Kalshi: Eight O/U markets (thresholds: 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5) contain no shootout adjustment clause. Resolution logic is silent on shootout handling, implying actual combined goals (regulation + OT only) determine outcome.
