NHL Plus/Minus Leaders: Forwards
2019-20All situationsThrough 71 team games
This board ranks forwards only by plus/minus, so centres and wingers are not mixed with defensemen.
Plus/minus adds one for every even-strength or shorthanded goal the team scores with the player on the ice and subtracts one for every one allowed. Power-play goals for do not count; empty-net goals do. For leagues that split positions: the forward slots' view of plus/minus.
Leader in 2019-20: Artemi Panarin (NYR), 36 +/-.

How to read it
