ANA Ducks at VAN Canucks: First Goal

The 'first goal' is the first official goal recorded on the game scoresheet for this matchup and is credited according to the NHL’s official scoring. If a goal is awarded as an own-goal or after official review, settlement follows the league’s credited scorer.

Closure timing is tied to the game start: these markets generally stop accepting new trades at or just before puck drop. Because this specific event lists 'Closes: TBD', check the event page for the exact platform close time and any last-minute updates.

Watch for the announced starting goalies, the top lines (especially the first and second forward lines), designated power-play units, and any players returning from injury or healthy scratches being activated—those factors most directly influence who is likely to score early.

Late lineup changes typically trigger rapid price movement: outcomes tied to scratched players may be suspended or repriced, and promoted players or power-play adjustments often become more attractive for first-goal positions. Expect heightened volatility in the minutes before puck drop.

Settlement follows the platform’s stated event rules and the NHL’s official game result: if the game is postponed or canceled and not completed under the platform’s rules, the market may be voided; if the game is played and goes to overtime, whether overtime goals count depends on the event’s specific rules—verify the event page for overtime settlement policy.
