In the same season, Zach Parise was on the ice when the New Jersey Devils scored 192 goals but was also on the ice when the other team lit the lamp 180 times. Which player has a better +/- number?

That means the Rangers scored 17 more goals than they allowed when McDonagh was on the ice. However, while Parise's team scored more goals when he was on the ice, they also allowed more goals. Subtract 180 from 192 and you get 12. That means McDonagh's +/- rating was five points higher than Parise's. CAPTION NEXT ENTER YOUR MONTH
