The Ottawa Senators are hoping Fabian Zetterlund will be a part of several more playoff pushes.
The Swedish winger, acquired just before the trade deadline from the San Jose Sharks last season, is signing a three-year, $12.825-million deal with the Senators, the team announced.
The average annual value is $4.275 million, and the deal will keep him in Ottawa through the 2027-28 season.
Zetterlund, 25, was held to two goals and three assists in 20 regular-season games with Ottawa and then went pointless in a six-game playoff series against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
But he showed more offensive potential in San Jose, recording 17 goals and 19 assists for 36 points in 64 games before the trade.
The five-foot-11 Zetterlund had 24 goals and 20 assists in 82 games for the Sharks in 2023-24.
He has 52 goals and 64 assists for 116 points in 247 career games for the New Jersey Devils, Sharks and Senators.
The Devils picked Zetterlund in the third round (63rd overall) of the 2017 NHL Draft.
