Not a big fan of the plus/minus in this league considering that they add a +1 to a guy that was on the ice for a PP goal more than often (link below). Also, for Pomerleau, yes he's +14 but he's in UNB. They scored 85 goals (27 PP - 2PK) and allowed 37 (15 PK - 2PP) which leads to 56 GF - 20GA at 5v5. So considering he's playing 20', that's 18GF-6GA approx +12 (which is pretty closed to the +14). So playing "well" based on the +/- is a false affirmation., he's just average in his team.
How can he be +4 ? :
Moncton at UNB - October 11, 2019 - 7:00 PM - Box Score - Atlantic University Sport (AUS)
He was on the ice for all four goals scored is my guess? One of those goals was a SH and you do get a + (or -) for those.
Having said that, Pomerleau was definitely a bit of a strange choice. Personally, if it had to be a UNB player, I would’ve have chosen LeBlanc.
While I agree the AUS +/- stat is a bit wonky at times, I believe the box scores eventually get corrected to reflect the true stars. They are a bit of a mess right after a game though.
