Zetterlund was drafted in the third round, 63rd overall, by the New Jersey Devils in 2017.

The Devils traded him to the Sharks in February 2023 as part of the deal to acquire forward Timo Meier. Zetterlund posted a career-best 24 goals and 44 points the following season.

“We were pleased to acquire Fabian at the deadline last season and very happy to extend him for three more years,” general manager Steve Staios said in a statement. “He brings commitment and work ethic with a scoring touch to our group.”
