Senators Sign Zetterlund to 3-Year Extension

The Ottawa Senators have signed forward Fabian Zetterlund to a three-year, $12.825 million contract extension, making him their fifth-highest paid forward. Zetterlund, 25, was acquired from the San Jose Sharks before the 2025 trade deadline and tallied 19 goals and 41 points in 84 games split between the Sharks and Senators during the 2023-24 season. Despite this regular season production, he went scoreless in six playoff games as the Senators were eliminated by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Drafted 63rd overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2017, Zetterlund has accumulated 116 points in 247 NHL games across three teams. The Senators have approximately $11 million in cap space remaining and are focusing on depth additions, with contract discussions reportedly ongoing with veteran Claude Giroux. Zetterlund's physicality and offensive upside are viewed as valuable assets as Ottawa seeks to build on its recent playoff appearance.
