plus minus
Error margin indicator
Plus minus (also plus-minus or plus/minus) is a statistic in hockey and basketball that tracks a player's impact by measuring the point differential while they're on the ice or court.
A player with a high plus-minus was on the field for more goals scored than allowed; a negative plus-minus means the opposite.
He led the league in plus-minus last season.
The stat is controversial because it depends heavily on teammates and opponents.
