Power play goals are generally not counted in the +/- ratings.
So a player on power play when a goal is scored for his team does
not get a +1; nor does a penalty killer get a -1 when his unit
gives up a power play goal against.
On the other hand, I have seen shorthanded goals counted in a few
different ways. I have seen where a penalty killer gets a +1,
+2, or +5 for a shorthanded goal (and conversely a -1, -2, or -5
for the power play unit). I would think the +5 is fairly
unconventional but I can not say with authority what the standard
is for the shorthanded goals.
One last item would be a goal where a team is skating 6-on-5 to
tie the game in the last minute. I believe that is still
considered an even strength situation for +/-.

What is the definition of the Plus-Minus rating?
I know (always be wary of what you know) that a player gets a +1 when his
team scores a goal when he is on the ice and a -1 when the other team scores
while he is on the ice. How do power-play and penalty killing situations
effect the stat?
