Tonight's NHL board on Polymarket is tight outside Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh has the clearer edge

The Penguins are the stronger favorite in the two NHL matchups identified in the supplied Oct 13, 2026 · 10:39 AM ET snapshot. Pittsburgh was priced at 61c against the Blackhawks’ 40c for the 8 p.m. ET game, with $11,365 traded on Polymarket.

The late Bruins–Sharks matchup showed little separation: the Bruins stood at 51c and the Sharks at 50c. The supplied summary does not include that game’s trading volume, limiting comparisons of activity between the two contests.

Volume figures and settlement terms

According to Polymarket’s Penguins–Blackhawks page, the moneyline displayed $13.7K in volume. The page also showed $18.10K in its header and $18,093 in its volume details. Those figures differ from the summary’s $11,365; the supplied material does not establish a common capture time, so they should not be treated as a synchronized snapshot.

The market opened on Sep 16, 2026, 11:30 AM ET and lists an end date of Oct 13, 2026. Its rules specify an October 13 start at 8:00 PM ET, while the page header displays 12:00 AM October 14.

Polymarket’s moneyline settlement follows the eventual winner, including overtime and shootouts. Separate contracts require Pittsburgh to win by 2 or more goals, or set combined scoring thresholds of 5, 6, 7 and 8 goals. For settlement purposes, a shootout adds one goal to the winning side’s score.

A postponement leaves the contracts open until the game is completed. If the fixture is canceled without a make-up game, the rules call for 50-50 settlement.

What it means for prediction markets

• The pricing contrast is clear but narrow in scope: Pittsburgh has a meaningful edge in the supplied snapshot, while Bruins–Sharks is nearly even. The material does not document the rest of tonight’s NHL board.
• Volume needs context: The summary, moneyline display and broader event-page totals are not interchangeable measures.
• Contract selection matters: A Penguins victory settles the moneyline in Pittsburgh’s favor, but the separate margin contract requires a win by 2 or more goals.
• Settlement extends beyond regulation: Overtime and shootouts count, including the additional shootout goal used to determine scoring outcomes.
