This event group covers an NHL game between the San Jose Sharks and Edmonton Oilers scheduled for March 17, 2026 at 9:00 PM ET. Markets span moneyline (winner), spread betting, and total goals over/under at multiple thresholds across Kalshi and Polymarket platforms.
Kalshi spread markets use asymmetric goal thresholds (San Jose >2.5, Edmonton >1.5) while Polymarket uses a symmetric -1.5 spread. This creates conflicting outcomes in scenarios like a 2-goal San Jose victory.
Hero Tip:
Avoid arbitrage between Kalshi and Polymarket spread markets until the threshold discrepancy is clarified. Focus on moneyline and totals, which are logically consistent. If trading spreads, confirm Kalshi's intent: are the asymmetric thresholds deliberate market design or a configuration error?
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Spread resolution uses team-specific asymmetric thresholds. San Jose win >2.5 goals = Yes. Edmonton win >1.5 goals = Yes. Implies San Jose 2-goal wins may resolve differently than Edmonton 2-goal wins. Key Quote: 'If San Jose wins by over 2.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes. If Edmonton wins by over 1.5 goals... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket: Spread uses symmetric -1.5 threshold. Oilers win by 2+ goals = Oilers. All other outcomes (Sharks win any margin, Oilers win by 1 or less) = Sharks. Key Quote: 'This market will resolve to Oilers if the Oilers win the game by 2 or more goals. Otherwise, this market will resolve to Sharks.'
