Fabian Zetterlund is back in San Jose.
For the first time since his shocking trade to the Ottawa Senators at last season’s NHL trade deadline, Zetterlund will face the Sharks on Saturday at SAP Center.
Zetterlund spoke after Senators practice about how much he misses William Eklund, his current goal-scoring struggles in Ottawa (he has one goal in 20 games), the business of hockey, and defending Macklin Celebrini.
Zetterlund, on being back in San Jose:
I’m excited. It’s going to be fun to play tomorrow. Like I said, I’m excited to be back, and I’m really, really pumped.
Zetterlund, on what he misses most about San Jose:
Eklund. (laughs)
Zetterlund, on the trade that sent him to Ottawa
I mean, everything happened so quickly, you know? I got that call and didn’t really think that much. It was just, go home and pack my stuff. My phone was ringing the whole day while I was trying to prepare for the next thing. It happened so quickly, so you can’t really find a word for it.
