You get a plus when you are on the ice and your team scores a shorthanded or even-strength goal, you get a minus when the other team scores a shorthanded or even-strength goal, and Powerplay goals don't count to +/-

Plus/Minus occurs when goals are scored. This is basically a rating of a players defense. Do they score more goals than they give up? If you are in a 5 on 5 (even strength) setting and you are on the ice when the goal is scored, the player gets a +1. If you are on the ice 5 on 5 and the opposition scores a goal, the player receives a -1. I'm not sure exactly on the power play settings, but if you are on the power play goal, there's no +/- rating, but if a team scores a short handed goal, then you get a +1/-1 depending on whether you are on offense or defnese when the goal is scored.

The plus minus ratio is related to when the team(s) score and who is on the ice at the time. When the teams are at even strength, every player on the ice for the team that scores receives a +1 and every player on the ice for the other team receives a -1. If a team is shorthanded and scores a goal, then you also get a +1 and the other team receives -1 for each player on the ice.

This is a stat where one gets a + for every even strength goalor if the team scores a short-handed goal. Therefore a minus would happen when you get scored against in an even strength situation or if you got scored against while you were on the power-play

The other answers are correct but if you do not know what "even strength", "short handed" or "power play" mean here goes.
Even strength: You have the same number of players on the ice that the other team does
Shorthanded: you have at least one less player on the ice than the other team (someone on your team took a penalty and you have fewer skaters)
Powerplay: You have more players on the ice than the other team because someone on their team took a penalty. A team is not rewarded a plus if they score in this situation.

when a goal is scored, all players of the team who scored who are on the ice at the time of a goal get one point. all players of the team who got scored on who were on the ice at the time of the goal get minus one point. goalies do not get or lose points.
