Former Devils Forward Finding Success With New Team
At the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline, the New Jersey Devils sent Fabian Zetterlund to the San Jose Sharks as a part of the Timo Meier trade. Since then, Zetterlund has benefitted from the change of scenery.
During this past season with the Sharks, Zetterlund set career highs with 24 goals and 44 points in 82 games. This wa a nice step in the right direction for the 25-year-old winger, and now he is continuing to improve.
Zetterlund currently has 11 goals and 23 points in 35 games this campaign with the Sharks. In addition, he currently sports a plus-6 rating, which is a significant improvement from his minus-34 last season.
With numbers like these, Zetterlund is currently on pace to have the best offensive season of his career. In addition, he is cementing himself as a key member of the Sharks' roster as they continue their rebuild.
It will be very fascinating to see how Zetterlund builds on his strong season from here. He is certainly not showing any signs of slowing down, as he has two goals and three points over his last three contests.
