You don’t need to drag out a stat from the dark ages.
It's not overly useful without context, but he leads the league and before the game today, was a +22 on a team with two forwards that were -15, which I assume improved after the game today. It's not a stat you take in isolation, but you look at in combination with other factors.

If it was a completely useless stat, why would the NHL even bother recording it?
