This market will resolve to “Over” if more than 5.5 games are played during the 2026 NHL Playoffs Second Round series between the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “Under”. If a partial series is played and not completed by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve according to the number of games played. If the 2026 NHL Playoffs are cancelled, postponed after May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to 50-50. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the NHL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.With the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens tied 3-3 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference second-round series, the total-games market reflects full trader consensus on the over 5.5 outcome. Six games have already been completed, including Montreal’s 6-3 win in Game 5 and Buffalo’s 8-3 comeback victory in Game 6 that forced a decisive seventh contest at KeyBank Center. This locked-in minimum of seven games stems directly from the competitive balance and resilience shown by both clubs, with standout contributions from players like Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson underscoring why neither side has been able to close out the series earlier. Only an unforeseen postponement or cancellation of Game 7 could alter the final tally, though league officials have given no indication of such developments.
