Flaws:	Needs to continue adding more strength in order to win more battles in the corners. Isn't a natural goal-scorer. Can go a little overboard at times when riling up opponents.
Career Potential:	Versatile energy forward.

T.J. Galiardi is playing on a line with Joe Thornton and Brent Burns.

CSN Bay Area

Impact

The line was very good on Saturday in the 2-1 overtime win over the Kings as they stopped the Kings best line of Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Dwight King. "I mean, if you look at it, I think we're in their zone every time," Galiardi said. "I don't remember being in our zone the whole series, so I'd say so. We just have to score now." Galiardi and Burns have not scored in the series while Thornton has two assists.

After a rocky start to the season, Sharks forward T.J. Galiardi has been a big part of the team's recent seven game winning streak.

Galiardi was made a healthy scratch for three straight games less than a month ago, but he has since suited up for 10 straight contests and has taken advantage by recording six points and a plus-5 rating during that span. While he's unlikely to be a factor in all but the deepest of leagues, there's something to be said for momentum.
