To determine Patrice Bergeron's plus/minus rating for the game, we need to calculate the difference between the number of goals scored while Bergeron was on the ice for his team and the number of goals scored by the opponent.
From the information given, we know that Bergeron was on the ice for one of his team's qualifying goals and all three qualifying goals by the Senators. A qualifying goal is a goal that counts towards a player's plus/minus rating.
Since Bergeron was on the ice for one of his team's qualifying goals, his plus/minus rating for that goal is +1. This means that his plus/minus rating increased by 1.
Now, let's calculate the number of goals scored by the Senators while Bergeron was on the ice. We know that they scored three goals.
So, his total plus/minus rating for the game would be +1 (for his team's goal) minus 3 (for the Senators' goals).
Therefore, Patrice Bergeron's plus/minus rating for the game would be -2.
