Well, no.  Looking at the box scores, 5 of Crowley's 8 assists were on the
power play.  Those don't count towards a player's +/-.
 
So at a minimum*, while Crowley was on the ice Minnesota scored 8 to MTU's 1
(2 if Crowley was on the ice for MTU's lone power play goal).
 
*That is, assuming Crowley was on the ice for no Minnesota goal for which he
did not get an assist.
