"If their New Year's resolution was to score more goals, they're off to a late start.

The calendar officially flipped to February a couple of hours after Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings at the Saddledome, and there's little doubt the Calgary Flames' offensive weapons are anxious to turn the page on the first month of 2012.

The snakebitten squad managed just 25 goals in a dozen January outings. What's more troubling is that almost half of those markers were celebrated in a pair of dates — a 6-3 win over the New Jersey Devils and a 6-2 thumping of the Edmonton Oilers.

On the flip side, Tuesday's setback against the Red Wings marked the seventh time in the month they'd managed only one goal or less.

Talk about a cold freeze."
