I have just started wagering on hockey this year and have been looking at box scores and such and one question I have is how is the +/- stat figured? Thanks in advance for the info.
A skater gets a +1 if he is on the ice when his team scores an even-strength or shorthanded goal. He gets a -1 if he is on the ice when his team allows an even strength or shorthanded goal. His overall +/- is a sum total of all his "plusses" and "minuses." Plus/minus is not figured in for power play goals. -- Stats, Inc.
