Best Answer

Goals scored on the power play do not count as a +1 (although goals given up on the power play, shorthanded, count as a -1).

So, theoretically, if three of the five points were scored on the power play and he was on the ice when all three goals were scored against he would be a -1. (+2 - 3 = -1)
