SJ Sharks at CBJ Blue Jackets: Assists

The market is based on the number of official assists recorded for the listed game as credited by the NHL’s official scoring. The market listing on KALSHI defines whether it tracks combined assists, team-specific totals, or other assist categories—check the market description for the exact outcome mapping.

The market close time is listed as TBD on the event page; check KALSHI for the posted close time as it is announced. Settlement occurs after the game finishes and KALSHI uses the official NHL statistic(s) to determine the final outcome according to its settlement rules.

Lineup changes can materially affect assist expectations because they change which playmakers and power-play units will be on the ice. Markets typically move when verified lineup news or scratches are announced, so the timing of those announcements matters.

Assist volume is usually driven by playmaking centers, power-play quarterbacks (often defensemen who run the point), and high-minute forwards who drive zone time. Look at each club’s current top-line centers, designated power-play units, and leading ice-time defensemen on game day for the best signals.

Settlement follows the exchange’s stated rules, which typically defer to the NHL’s official stats as posted at a specified post-game cutoff. If the NHL posts corrections within the exchange’s allowed correction window, those corrections are used; check KALSHI’s rules for the exact correction and finalization policy.
