Plus/minus problem

seven · 01-04-2018, 01:34 AM

In a recent game, an erroneous plus/minus value was recorded for a player who scored twice in a shutout. His assigned plus/minus as +1, but it should have been at least +2, given that he scored twice and the opponent did not score. The screen shots below show the game's outcome and the stats line for the relevant player.

Was one of his goals a Power Play goal? He wouldn't get a +1 for that. And he wouldn't get a +1 for the goal he didn't score if he wasn't on the ice at the time.

Yeah, most likely a power play goal, there's no +/- for those.

Yes, one was a power play goal. I keep forgetting this rule. Thanks for pointing it out.
