Zetterlund signed a two-year contract worth $2.9 million with the Sharks on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Zetterlund posted 23 points in 67 games between the Devils and the Sharks last season. He was included as part of the return in the Timo Meier trade in February. Zetterlund should have a chance to claim a middle-six role and potentially feature on the Sharks' power play in 2023-24.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Deals helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Zetterlund posted an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
Zetterlund picked up his third helper in his last seven games. The 23-year-old has shuffled around the lineup a bit as he adjusts to playing for the Sharks. He still hasn't shown a ton of chemistry with anyone yet. For the season, he has six goals, 17 assists, 107 shots on net, 46 hits and a minus-2 rating through 59 contests between the Sharks and the Devils.
Zetterlund posted an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Zetterlund has managed just two helpers over 11 contests since he was traded from the Devils to the Sharks. The 23-year-old winger has gotten some top-six looks, but the lack of production has seen him slip down the lineup. He's at 22 points, 103 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-3 rating through 56 outings overall.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Notches first helper with new team

Zetterlund posted an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
The helper was Zetterlund's first point in eight games since he was dealt from New Jersey to San Jose in the Timo Meier trade. Despite the lack of offense, Zetterlund has gotten a look in the top six, though he saw just 11:46 of ice time Tuesday. The 23-year-old winger is up to 21 points, 96 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-2 rating through 53 contests between the two teams this season.

Sharks' Fabian Zetterlund: Sent to San Jose
Rotowire
The Sharks acquired Zetterlund, Shakir Mukhamadullin, Nikita Okhotyuk, Andreas Johnsson and three draft picks, including a 2023 first, from the Devils in exchange for Timo Meier (upper body), Scott Harrington, Timur Ibragimov, Santeri Hatakka, Zachary Emond and a fifth-round pick Sunday.
Zetterlund has tallied six goals and 20 points through 45 games with the Devils this season. The 23-year-old winger dominated the AHL level last year with 24 goals and 52 points. He could see some top-six minutes on the Sharks' depleted roster.

Devils' Fabian Zetterlund: Collects two helpers Monday
Rotowire
Zetterlund recorded two assists in New Jersey's 5-4 overtime win over Vancouver on Monday.
Both of Zetterlund's helpers were the primary assist on Jack Hughes' goals. Zetterlund has five goals and 17 points in 37 contests this season. He entered the game averaging 12:59 of ice time this season and logged 12:49 on Monday. The 23-year-old's limited role with the Devils makes it significantly less likely for Zetterlund to supply regular offensive contributions, but the fact that he's being sent out there with Hughes does keep things interesting.

Devils' Fabian Zetterlund: Three games since last SOG
Rotowire
Zetterlund blocked three shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Zetterlund's coaches and teammates surely appreciate him putting his body on the line in this one, but fantasy managers would have preferred that at least one of his two shot attempts at the other end landed on target. The 23-year-old Swede has gone three games without a shot on goal, and you have to go back to Nov. 5 for Zetterlund's only multi-point performance this season. Unless injuries clear a path for an extended stay in the top six, Zetterlund's likely to remain limited offensively in a third-line role.

Devils' Fabian Zetterlund: Scores twice, including winner
Rotowire
Zetterlund scored two goals on four shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.
Zetterlund put the Devils ahead the first time at 7:50 of the first period. That lead wouldn't last, but he cashed in again on a one-timer on the power play midway through overtime to seal the win. The winger has three goals in his last four games, and he's up to four points in seven outings overall. He's added 23 shots on net, five hits and a plus-5 rating. Zetterlund has been listed on the top line at even strength, but his usage is more in line with a third-liner.

Devils' Fabian Zetterlund: Deposits first goal
Rotowire
Zetterlund scored a goal, dished an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.
Zetterlund got the Devils on the board in the first period, and he also helped out on the first of Yegor Sharangovich's tallies in the final frame. This was Zetterlund's second multi-point effort in as many games as he's jumped up to a top-six role with little trouble. The 22-year-old probably won't keep up this pace, but he could be a solid DFS option going forward if he remains alongside Sharangovich and Nico Hischier.
