+/- rating

how is the +/- rating determined?

[lynn]

+1 when on the ice for each even strength goal and short handed goal scored FOR your team
-1 when on the ice for each even strength or short handed goal scored AGAINST your team

i'm not sure about power plays??????

POWER PLAY GOALS DO NOT GO ON PLUS MINUS STATS.

Almost.

+1 when there is goal scored by your team when you are short-handed or at even-strength (as stated above)

-1 when ther is goal scored by the opposing team when you are on the powerplay or at enen-strength


The best way to remember is that when your team is killing penalties, short-handed goals are very positive (+1); but is very negative when scored against while on the power-play. And when there is no man advantage: scoring a goal is positive, but giving one up is negative

So.....How is that different from what lynn said?

Now, if a guy is NOT on the ice when a goal is scored, but that guy is credited with a goal because he was the last player on his team to touch the puck, does he get a plus?

Think of the Steve Smith goal from the '86 Flames/Oilers 7th game, Perry Berezan dumped the puck in and left the ice on a shift change prior to Smith banking it into his own net off of Grant Fuhr. I am guessing no, but can't find the answer anywhere.
