NHL Projected Plus/Minus This Week

Plus/minus counts even-strength and shorthanded goals for and against while a player is on the ice. Our projection is mostly a team stat: the team's projected goal differential away from the power play, shared out by each player's even-strength and penalty-kill minutes. It is one of the noisiest categories in hockey, so read it as a direction, not a number (Oct 12-18 (Week 3)). (Oct 12-18 (Week 3))

† Edgehalla model: derived from LineupExperts' goals, assists and ice-time projection plus NHL history. +/-, shorthanded goals, assists and points are high-variance: the projections are small expected values ranked mostly by ice-time role, and actual totals swing a lot. How the model works

What is plus/minus? A player gets +1 when he is on the ice for an even-strength or shorthanded goal for, and -1 for one against. Power-play goals do not count.

How we project it

- Team differential: projected goals for (its skaters' goals) and LineupExperts' goals against (its goalies' goals against), minus the share scored or allowed on the power play. Goals against are scaled league-wide so the league's +/- sums to about zero (goalie goals against leave out empty-netters). - Player share: his projected even-strength plus penalty-kill minutes divided by the team's non-power-play minutes. - +/- = games × share × team non-power-play goal differential per game.

No individual on-ice term. We tested adding each player's own on-ice goal differential and it never improved the projection, so it is not used.

Variance warning

a player's +/- correlates only about 0.3 from one season to the next.

💡
Pro Tip: Big-minute defensemen on strong teams project highest because they are on the ice for the most even-strength goals. Expect large swings around any projection.

Team-driven stat

Projected +/- follows the team's projected goal differential. Check this week's games for context.

Games This Week

Two-Way Forwards

Selke-caliber forwards combine offensive production with responsible defense, making them +/- leaders. Target two-way centers on good teams.

Forwards Projections

Avoid Minus Matchups

Identify players in tough spots—stars facing elite opponents or playing for struggling teams may post negative +/- despite good individual stats.

Frequently Asked Questions

We take the team's projected goal differential away from the power play (from the projected goals for and against) and give each player a share in proportion to his projected even-strength and penalty-kill minutes. There is no player-specific on-ice adjustment.
It is high-variance and mostly team-driven: year to year it correlates only about 0.3 for a player. In category leagues, rostering players from strong teams is the main lever.
In our projections, heavy-minute players, especially defensemen, on teams projected to outscore opponents at even strength lead the list.
In category leagues chasing +/-, yes. Even elite players on losing teams can accumulate negative +/- despite strong individual performances.
