In their place during Saturday’s morning skate, the Sharks had winger Klim Kostin in Zetterlund’s spot on a line with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, goalie Georgi Romanov backing up Alexandar Georgiev, and newcomer Patrick Giles in Sturm’s old spot as the fourth-line center.

As far as William Eklund is concerned, the San Jose Sharks traded away a literal family member in Fabian Zetterlund.

The San Jose Sharks made one of the most surprising moves of the 2025 Trade Deadline by sending forward Fabian Zetterlund to the Ottawa Senators in a last-minute deal.

Jake Walman, sent to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, roughly two weeks after his 29th birthday, gave the Sharks a veteran offensive defenseman who usually logged between 22 and 26 minutes per game. Zetterlund, 25, scored 24 goals last year and was nearly on the same pace this season.
