The Anaheim game had minus performances from Gio, Brodie, Gaudreau, Jooris, Hudler, etc. In fact, Raymond's line was even, so it seems to me that Raymond may have suffered a bit in that game from stepping on the ice at a bad time. I didn't notice any glaring errors leading to goals by him.
I'm not a big fan of any of the 4 players you identified. But I think it's a flawed analysis, because the plus minus is so skimpy at this point, that a single bad game skews the result.

If it's raining outside, how many metrics do you need to tell you it's wet?
The stat is honestly beside the point - I just thought it was interesting that such an old school, much maligned statistic could so readily confirm what we all know is the case.
