Oct 19, 2012, 5:05 PM | Updated: 6:12 pm

The NHL lockout has led to the cancellation of regular season games through November 1.

The league made the announcement Friday, meaning a total of 135 games have been lost in the labor dispute.

The Phoenix Coyotes, who had already seen four games canceled, saw another four bite the dust with Friday’s announcement.

They include:

10/25 vs. Nashville
10/27 @ Los Angeles
10/30 @ Chicago
11/1 @ Buffalo

That brings the total to eight, with an even split of four home games and four away games.

According to the league, the cancellation of games was necessary because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players’ Association and the NHL.
