By the numbers: Winless Coyotes an all-around disaster

It's been anything but a fun first three weeks of the 2017-18 season for the Arizona Coyotes.

With a 5-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday night the Coyotes remain the only team not to register a single win this season, now riding a record of 0-8-1.

For head coach Rick Tocchet, it's been a painful beginning to his tenure in Arizona. Once more, it's not just one part of the team's game holding his club back.

The Coyotes are seeing failures in all facets of their game and the numbers prove just how bad things have been:

31.1: The number of shots per game the Coyotes have generated, ranking 19th in the league.

47.1: The percent of faceoffs the Coyotes have won, good enough for 28th league-wide.

72: The percent of penalties the Coyotes have killed, the 29th-best mark to begin the season.

15.2: The percent of power plays the team has been able to capitalize on, good enough for 22nd this season.

4.33: The average number of goals allowed by the Coyotes per game, the highest total in the league.

2.33: The amount of goals the Coyotes are scoring per game on average, the third-worst total this season.

87.27: The Coyotes' team save percentage through the first eight games of the season, the second-worst total in the league.

6: The number of Coyotes players who have scored more than a single goal this season.

While the argument can be made that it's early - and it is - the fact is the Coyotes' struggles aren't as simple as poor goaltending or a snake-bitten offense, it's everything. So unless the team can come together to clean up its play at both sides of the rink, expect more heartache in the desert.
