A player gets a + when he is on the ice during a 5 on 5 situation and his team scores a goal and he gets a - when he is on the ice during a 5 on 5 situation and his team is scored upon. With regards to pp and pk situations, he gets a minus when he is on the ice and a shorthanded goal is scored AGAINST his team, but he gets a plus when a shorthanded goal is scored FOR his team.

Everyone is focusing on 5 on 5, but the key is *even strength* meaning 5 on 5, 4 on 4, or the rare 3 on 3. Goals against and for in an even strength situation give players a -1 and a +1 respectively. There is the one other way of getting a plus or minus... and that is during a short handed situation - the team scoring the goal gets plus one for it's players on the ice, while the team that was on the power play gets a negative one for it's players on the ice.

Plus-Minus:
A player receives a "plus" if he is on the ice when his Club scores an even-strength or shorthand goal. He receives a "minus" if he is on the ice for an even-strength or shorthand goal scored by the opposing Club. The difference in these numbers is considered the player's plus-minus statistic.

You are getting some mixed information but here is the rule for +/-. If the teams are even strength (5-5, 4-4 or 3-3) than yes the goal is a plus for the team that scored and a minus for the team scored against. If a team is on the powerplay and they score it does not count regarding plus or minus. HOWEVER if a team is shorthanded and they score than that goal effects the plus minus.

Shorthanded do count. But not a normal power play goal. Anytime the players are equal or the scoring team has fewer players.

It includes shorthanded but not power play.
