Fabian Zetterlund, acquired by the Ottawa Senators from the San Jose Sharks, found himself unexpectedly assigned to the fourth line despite being a notable scorer. Coach Travis Green acknowledged Zetterlund's adjustment period in a new system, but the winger's minimal ice time compared to his previous performance levels raises eyebrows. While Zetterlund is Ottawa's third-best scorer, his placement in the lineup suggests he is not utilized to his full potential. This situation has left fans questioning the strategic decisions behind his acquisition and current role on the team.
I liked the way the rest of our lines looked the other night. I thought we played a strong game defensively and offensively against the Rangers. It just made sense to put Zetterlund there for tonight and get his feet wet a little bit.
Yeah, I mean he's playing fewer minutes than he's accustomed to. He's also playing a new system. He's a relatively young player in the league, and our team's playing well. So I think it's been good to insert him in.
