Claim 2: “Now that Linus Ullmark is in good form, Ottawa is a force to be reckoned with this spring.”

SINGLE SOURCE
While multiple sources list various US states (web search and Wikipedia), the claim lists an exhaustive and specific list of 50+ states and D.C. The evidence found is too disparate (ranging from Toronto to general state lists) to confirm this exact, comprehensive list as a single established fact across all sources. The Wikipedia and web search results do not confirm this specific, exhaustive list for Polymarket eligibility.

Claim 5: “Must be 18 years or older and have a legal, U.S. residential address within the applicable state, D.C., or U.S. territories.”

Claim 6: “Deposit $20 to get a $20 bonus, with the Polymarket promo code NYPMAX to skip the waitlist.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence provided for this claim consists entirely of web search results discussing 'acid reflux' and 'GERD,' which directly contradicts the claim's subject matter (Polymarket, $20 deposit, NYPMAX code). There is no evidence supporting the claim.

Claim 7: “The Avs, Lightning, and Hurricanes top the board going into the tournament, but there are several sleepers to keep an eye on in the playoffs.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results mention the Avalanche (Avs) in the context of playoff standings or visits, corroborating their prominence. However, the claim specifies that the Avs, Lightning, and Hurricanes *top the board*, which is not consistently confirmed across the sources, though the Avs are mentioned as a leader/focus.

SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results are generic error messages or outage maps and do not contain the specific list of excluded states (AZ, IL, MA, MD, MI, MT, NJ, NV, OH). Therefore, the claim cannot be corroborated by the evidence provided, but it is not definitively proven false either.

Claim 11: “The Senators spent most of the season outside the playoff picture, but they’ve put together a stretch run for the ages to gatecrash the postseason in the Eastern Conference.”
SINGLE SOURCE
Web search results mention the Senators and the Eastern Conference playoffs, supporting the general narrative. However, the claim's specific framing—that they spent *most* of the season outside the picture but achieved a strong run—is presented as a narrative summary in the search results, lacking independent confirmation from multiple sources to verify the 'most of the season' aspect.
