Zetterlund scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Blues.
Zetterlund found the back of the net late in the third period when the Senators had the man advantage, but that late goal wasn't enough to provide a spark and light a comeback. Zetterlund has scored five goals in Ottawa's last eight games, and this has clearly been his most productive stretch of the campaign. Prior to this run, Zetterlund had scored just one goal in 20 games.

Senators' Fabian Zetterlund: Stays warm with goal
Rotowire
Zetterlund scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
Zetterlund has scored in three of the last four games, adding eight shots on net in that span. The 26-year-old winger's usage could take a hit now that Brady Tkachuk is back in action, but Zetterlund still figures to play a decent amount for the Senators. On the year, he has four goals, three assists, 36 shots on net, 37 hits and 12 blocked shots across 24 appearances.

Senators' Fabian Zetterlund: Two points in win Monday
Rotowire
Zetterlund scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
Zetterlund found the back of the net with his lone shot of the contest, a slap shot at 13:04 of the third period, and he also contributed to Drake Batherson's even-strength goal in the second frame. This was Zetterlund's first multi-point game of the season, but as a bottom-six forward who doesn't have a power-play role, his chances of producing on a steady basis won't be very high in future contests.

Senators' Fabian Zetterlund: Manages assist
Rotowire
Zetterlund notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Sabres.
Zetterlund has started the year in a top-six role on paper, though he's seen under 15 minutes of ice time in each of the last two games. The Senators have struggled with consistency overall, and the absence of Brady Tkachuk (wrist) could keep the door open for Zetterlund to play a more prominent role. Through four outings, Zetterlund has a helper, seven shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-1 rating, so he should be consistent in the non-scoring categories even if his offense lags behind.

Senators' Fabian Zetterlund: Reaches 40-point mark Sunday
Rotowire
Zetterlund tallied a goal and fired three shots on net in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Philadelphia.
Zetterlund's goal tied the game at two goals apiece early in the third period. He is up to 40 points on the year with 19 goals and 21 assists across 81 games. Zetterlund is just four points shy of his career-best 44 points from a year ago. While he's set to play in the playoffs with the move to Ottawa at the trade deadline, Zetterlund has struggled to get going in his new colors. He has just four points in 18 games with the Senators despite occupying a spot on the second line and second power-play unit, adding 34 hits over that span.

Senators' Fabian Zetterlund: Dealt to Ottawa
Rotowire
Zetterlund, Tristen Robins and a fourth-round pick were traded to the Senators from the Sharks in exchange for Zack Ostapchuk, Noah Gregor and a 2025 second-round pick Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Zetterlund is on pace to challenge the career-best marks he set a year ago, as he's recorded 17 goals, 19 assists, 115 hits, 63 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 16:59 of ice time over his first 64 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. He'll have a chance to help an Ottawa club make the postseason for the first time since 2016-17, and while he's had an encouraging start to the year, he may not have as prominent of a role in the closing weeks of the season.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Strikes on power play
Rotowire
Zetterlund scored a power-play goal on a team-high seven shots and added four hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.
Zetterlund has three goals and an assist over his last eight outings. This was his first power-play point since Jan. 7 versus the Golden Knights, which is a product of Zetterlund playing on the second unit most of the time lately. The 25-year-old winger is up to 17 goals, 36 points (six on the power play), 141 shots on net, 115 hits, 63 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 64 appearances. He's been a strong and physical two-way forward this season, but his scoring pace has slowed after an impressive start, so he's not a must-have player in fantasy.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Bulges twine in loss
Rotowire
Zetterlund scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Battling illness
Rotowire
Zetterlund (illness) is likely to play in Tuesday's clash against Montreal, but his availability isn't certain after missing Sunday's practice, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Zetterlund has 14 goals, 32 points, 95 hits and 54 blocks in 54 outings in 2024-25. Alexander Wennberg (upper body) and Tyler Toffoli (lower body) are also question marks for Tuesday, so that's half of San Jose's projected top-six forwards who might miss the game, including Zetterlund. Barclay Goodrow, Colin White and Luke Kunin could be asked to do more depending on who ends up being available.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Hands out helper in loss
Rotowire
Zetterlund notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.
Zetterlund has gotten on the scoresheet in four straight games (two goals, two assists). The winger also has 11 shots on net in that span. He remains in a top-line role, though he was under 15 minutes of ice time for the third time in five contests -- given the lopsided nature of this game, it was likely for rest purposes since he has been bothered by a lower-body injury in recent weeks. Zetterlund is at 14 goals, 18 helpers, 109 shots, 93 hits, 52 blocks and a plus-8 rating through 52 appearances.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Scores early in loss
Rotowire
Zetterlund scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 2-1 loss to Utah.
Zetterlund was questionable heading into Friday's game due to a lower-body injury, but he suited up for 19:43 in this contest. He scored in the opening minute, but that was all the Sharks could get past Karel Vejmelka. Zetterlund ended a nine-game goal drought and is now at 12 tallies, 28 points, 89 shots on net, 79 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 44 appearances. He's battled a couple of minor injuries lately, so his recent struggles may be related to those issues.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Returning Friday
Rotowire
Zetterlund (lower body) will be back in action versus Utah on Friday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Zetterlund is currently stuck in a nine-game goal drought during which he recorded 15 shots to go with four helpers. With just 11 goals through 43 games this year, Zetterlund may not be able to repeat his 2023-24 production when he racked up 24 goals in 82 outings. Still, the 25-year-old winger should retake both his first-line and top power-play roles, which figures to give him plenty of opportunities to find the back of the net.
Zetterlund is likely to play Friday versus Utah, but he's dealing with a lower-body injury that puts his availability in question, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Wednesday.
Zetterlund has missed some practices recently due to the injury. He also played through the issue during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Vegas, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. Zetterlund still registered a power-play assist while logging 20:46 of ice time against the Golden Knights, but perhaps the team will decide to have him rest the injury in the future. The 25-year-old has 11 goals and 27 points in 43 appearances in 2024-25.
Zetterlund posted a power-play assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Zetterlund had been held off the scoresheet over the previous four games, his longest slump of the season. He has four assists over nine outings since his last goal, but he remains in a top-six role. The 25-year-old winger is at 27 points, 87 shots on net, 77 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 43 appearances. Zetterlund offers well-rounded production, especially for a winger, but his recent play is a caution to fantasy managers that he may not be consistent over the long haul.
