Avalanche favored at 56c over the Stars at 45c for tonight's NHL matchup in Dallas

The Avalanche were priced at 56c against 45c for the Stars in the Oct 14, 2026 · 2:39 AM ET snapshot, putting them ahead in the prediction market for tonight’s NHL matchup in Dallas. According to Polymarket’s market rules, the game is scheduled for October 14 at 8:30 PM ET.

Trading centers on the moneyline

According to Polymarket, the matchup had generated $36,633 in total volume, displayed in rounded form as $36.63K. The moneyline accounted for $33.2K, making the outright winner the main focus of trading.

The market opened on Sep 17, 2026, at 11:30 AM ET and lists an end date of Oct 14, 2026. The supplied snapshot does not include a price history establishing whether either team’s chances had recently risen or fallen.

Settlement extends beyond regulation

The moneyline settles on the winner after overtime and any shootout, according to Polymarket. For settlement purposes, a shootout victory adds one goal to the winning side’s score.

A separate margin market requires the Avalanche to win by 2 or more goals; every other completed-game outcome settles to the Stars. The listed totals markets have distinct thresholds: combined scoring of 5, 6, 7 or 8 goals is enough to settle the corresponding contract to Over, while a total below each threshold settles to Under.

Across these contracts, postponement leaves trading open pending completion of the game. An outright cancellation without a make-up game instead produces a 50-50 settlement.

What it means for prediction markets

• The Avalanche hold the pricing edge: The 56c versus 45c snapshot favors them, but it does not establish a recent shift in sentiment.
• Winner and margin contracts differ: An Avalanche victory by one goal would satisfy their moneyline contract but not the requirement to win by 2 or more goals.
• Extra play affects settlement: Overtime scoring and the one-goal shootout adjustment count toward the final score used for margin and totals contracts.
• Schedule disruption has defined consequences: A postponement delays resolution; cancellation without a make-up game triggers 50-50 settlement.
