Regular season

January

The Sharks started the 2012–13 season with a perfect record; getting 14 out of 14 possible points in their seven January games. Patrick Marleau scored the Sharks first goal of the season, in the second period of the regular season opener against the Calgary Flames.^[3]

February

February would however be troublesome – in 12 games the Sharks would only get two wins and a total of eight points.

March

The Sharks were successful at home in March, with five wins and a loss in overtime. On the road, they had less success – registering three wins, five losses and an overtime loss. After eight seasons with the Sharks, Douglas Murray was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 25.^[4]

April

The Sharks were active around the trade deadline; Ryane Clowe, who also played with the Sharks for eight seasons, was traded to the New York Rangers,^[5] Michal Handzus was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks,^[6] Raffi Torres was acquired from the Phoenix Coyotes^[7] and Scott Hannan was acquired from the Nashville Predators.^[8] This is Hannan's second stint with San Jose.

On April 23, 2013, in the final home game of the regular season, the Sharks defeated the Stars 3–2 to clinch a playoff berth.^[9] The Sharks finished with a home record of 17–2–5 and qualified for the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season.
