What the contract measures

This event covers the second period of the Buffalo vs Montreal NHL game originally scheduled for October 17, 2026. The source states that "Only goals scored during the 2nd period of play count towards this market" [1]. Each market resolves to Yes if its named result occurs in that period. The three contracts are "Montreal wins the 2nd period," "Buffalo wins the 2nd period," and "2nd period tie" [1].

The rules also cover schedule changes. If the game is postponed but begins within 48 hours of its originally scheduled start, "the market will remain open and resolve based on the official final result." If it is cancelled or does not start within 48 hours, "all markets will resolve to a fair price" [1]. The contracts "will close and expire after a winner is declared" [1]. Because the excerpt lists the event end time as not supplied, the closing time should be checked on the provider page.

Reading the snapshot

The saved snapshot was observed at 2026-10-16T21:00:06Z and retrieved at 2026-10-17T01:02:30Z. It is a record of those moments, not a live reading. The Yes prices were 0.37 for Montreal, 0.305 for Buffalo, and 0.275 for a second-period tie [1]. These prices are snapshots, not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities.

Each contract should be read on its own terms. The three prices are not a single forecast to be averaged or combined, and a difference between them does not by itself show a trading opportunity.

The stored market data lists all three markets, with no omitted outcomes recorded for this event [1]. The sample warning, however, states that this "does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. Any reader should treat the set as the saved provider event only.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why the prices stood where they did, and it contains no information about trading activity, the number of participants, or the game's current status beyond the provider's "active" label [1]. No postponement, cancellation, or official result is recorded in the supplied material. The stored end date in the market data is 2026-10-19T23:00:00.000Z, but the contract text ties closing to the winner declaration, so the stored date should not be read as an announced event time [1].
