T.J. Galiardi scored against his former team as the Sharks finally got back in the win column.

The road trip from hell (part deux) is mercifully over but it ended with yet another whimper as the Sharks' woeful offense couldn't manage an even-strength goal in the team's ninth loss in ten games.

With yet another chance to hand the Blackhawks their first regulation loss of the season, the Sharks came up short as Chicago secured its place in the history books with the best start in NHL history.

After a 7-0-0 start to 2013, the Sharks appear to have hit a bit of an early rough patch as they dropped their second straight game (and first of the season in 60 minutes or less) 2-1 in Anaheim.
