What the contract measures

The Kalshi event "Detroit vs Edmonton: Assists" [1] contains player-level markets. Each market asks whether a named player records a stated number of assists in the Detroit vs Edmonton NHL game originally scheduled for October 26, 2026 [1]. For a 1+ assists contract, the rules say that if the player records one or more assists, the market resolves to Yes [1]. The rules also address a player who is active but never enters the game: that market settles to the last fair market price before game start. Once a player enters, settlement is based on the assists recorded [1]. The rules state that a market will close and expire early if the event occurs [1]. The contract therefore does not simply ask whether the game is played, and the settlement path differs for a player who never enters.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation time is 18:00:06 UTC on October 26, 2026, and the source was retrieved at 19:01:55 UTC the same day [1]. These figures describe a saved snapshot, not live quotes. Each included market lists an end date of 01:30 UTC on October 29, 2026 [1]. The event-level listed end time is not supplied [1].

Among the included markets, Connor McDavid's 1+ assists Yes price is 0.67, Evan Bouchard's is 0.62, and Leon Draisaitl's is 0.60 [1]. The McDavid 2+ assists Yes price is 0.375 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. Each market is a separate contract, so a difference between two players' prices reflects two different questions, not an arbitrage opportunity.

This is a partial sample. Of 35 markets for this provider event, 12 are included [1]. The selection took up to 12 markets ordered by Yes price, descending. The 23 omitted markets are not shown, and their absence does not mean they priced lower. The sample also cannot be treated as a ranking of the full field or combined with markets from other events or providers.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why prices are at these levels, how many traders hold positions, or whether any recent team news affects the outcomes. It also does not show whether any listed player will enter the game. The fallback price for a player who never enters depends on the last fair market price before game start, which is not supplied. No game result or settlement is included. The provider status was active at retrieval [1]. If you compare contracts across platforms, check each contract's wording and close time first, because the rules and timing may differ.
