Worst Plus/Minus Ratings In a Single Game?

[PaulD]

What are the worst plus/minus ratings in single games you can think of for individual players?

Matthews' -6 tonight against the Hurricanes has to be tough to beat for a star player.

Marner was minus- 6 as well.
Knies , Nylander, Rielly not far behind. lol

 

[DitchMarner]

Marner was minus- 6 as well.
Knies , Nylander, Rielly not far behind. lol

Nylander was only -1 in that game. Rielly was -3.

The first line had a rough game.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

I had to double take when I saw the stat sheet.. pretty impressive night really.

 

[PaulD]

Worst this season belongs to
Matthews and Marner by the sounds of it.
minus - 12 combined !!

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Leafs top line was a combined plus 16 on Saturday and then minus 17 on Thursday. Leafs gonna do Leafy things lol.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Greg Joly was -9 in a Caps loss to Pitt 12–1.

Caps were 6-59-5 at that point.

In 2012 Chris Butler for the flames had a -7 game.

6-59-5 is insane man

 

[Hennessy]

I was really hoping someone had put that here.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

The whole top leaf line was minus 17 versus Carolina

Marner -6
Matthews -6
Knies -5

Carolina dominates the leafs the last few years. Bad news since the leafs are favs for the cup.

Ohhhh?

Should I start planning the parade?

Selke candidate Auston Matthews.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Selke candidate Auston Matthews.

His line was minus 3 tonight vs the Canucks. Maybe there is a rift in the room between Marner and AM.

i love that the brett lebda thing keeps coming up

it's just a random factoid on a random game that impacts nobody yet it's going to be the one lasting memory of his time as a player

 

[T REX]

I'm the last person to defend any leafs player but one game means nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

This stuff happens over the course of a very long career.

Nothing burger IMHO

One game is never representative of a season or career.

As a Wings fan, that's not true. Any time a Red Wings defenseman rushes the puck up ice then immediately turns the puck over at the littlest sign of pressure after taking himself way out of position, I call it "pulling a Lebda."

A tale of two teams and two Dmen.
Over last two seasons - both on highly competitive teams in the Atlantic division playing about the the same minutes.
Leafs................ Rielly - 6

Panthers.... Forsling +77

 

[The Panther]

Bill Mikkelson famously went -82 on the hapless 1974-75 Washington Capitals (in only 59 games!), but surely the worst 21-game stretch for any player in history has to be...


Jack Lynch

A defenseman, Lynch went a wonderful -60 in his final 21 games of the season (1 with Detroit; 20 with Washington).

Instead of the 'Plus/Minus Award', the NHL should create the Jack Lynch Minus/Minus Award .

(He did improve in 1975-76, however, going only -52 on the season!)

 

[Reality Czech]

Wonder if there was a thread about that .

Ask and ye shall receive

Thread 'Kopitar was -6 last night. What's the record?'

Feb 14, 2024

Anze Kopitar was -6 against the Sabres in a 7-0 drubbing last night.

Without getting into the relevance of that particular stat, as a point of interest what is the worst number you can recall from a player on the team that you follow?

Anyone know the all-time record?

During his 20 games in Washington, at even strength, he was on the ice for 6 goals for, and 60 goals against. When Lynch was on the ice, at ES, the Capitals were outscored by a ratio of 10:1.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Not the worst but Brett Lebda was -3 in a 9-3 win.

That's your winner.
