NHL Plus/Minus Leaders: Vancouver Canucks
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by plus/minus, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
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. Plus/minus is still a category in many leagues but it mostly reflects team quality and goaltending. The per-60 view helps compare players with different minutes.
Leader for the Vancouver Canucks in 2026-27: Paul Cotter (VAN), 5 +/-.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
