You know things aren't going well when you're taking out your own goalie in game action.

The New York Rangers are taking on the Arizona Coyotes tonight - and Nick Holden didn't seem to think before shoving a Yote straight into Ondrej Pavelec.

These tweets just about sums up the play.

Holden as usual thinks he is an offensive force and gets beat..then nearly kills Pavelec

Pavelec finished the period, but it's uncertain if he'll be dealing with after-effects from that hit following the game.

At the time of the play, the Rangers were up 2-0. Alain Vigneault's squad is trying to work itself out of an early season hole - they are 2-6-2 through 10 games.

The Coyotes, for their part, have lost 9 straight games to begin the season.
