Giles scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Predators. - The goal was the first of Giles' career, as well as his first point. It took him 11 games to achieve the milestone, though his scoring upside is fairly limited. He's added nine shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-1 rating between the Sharks and the Panthers this season.
