What is plus/minus? A player receives +1 when on ice for an even-strength or shorthanded goal for, and -1 when on ice for an even-strength or shorthanded goal against. Power play goals don't count.

What drives positive +/-

- Team strength: Players on winning teams trend positive - Two-way ability: Responsible defensive play prevents goals against - Line placement: Top-6 forwards outscore bottom-6 matchups - Deployment: Sheltered minutes vs. tough matchups

Important note

Plus/minus is controversial as a player evaluation metric, but in fantasy hockey, it's a category you can target strategically.

Pro Tip: Target players on heavy favorites (-180 or better). Teams expected to win comfortably produce the most positive +/- nights.
