The Ottawa Senators have secured forward Fabian Zetterlund with a three-year, $12.825 million contract extension, solidifying their investment in the 25-year-old winger. Last season, Zetterlund displayed his offensive talents, netting 19 goals and 22 assists across 84 games with the Senators and San Jose Sharks. Acquired at the trade deadline, he contributed significantly to the Senators, scoring two goals and three assists in 20 games, despite a playoff drought against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

General Manager Steve Staios expressed satisfaction with the acquisition, highlighting Zetterlund's commitment, work ethic, and scoring ability as pivotal for the team's future. Drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 2017, Zetterlund’s journey saw a trade to the Sharks before making a mark with the Senators. His performance trajectory showcases potential growth, especially considering his previous career-high of 24 goals and 44 points.
