Devin Setoguchi (born January 1, 1987 in Taber, Alberta, Canada) is a Canadian ice hockey right wing. He was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the first round, 8th overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
Setoguchi played one season with the now-defunct Crowsnest Pass Timberwolves of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He then spent three seasons with the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League. In the 2005–06 season, he finished seventh in the league in scoring with 83 points. In the 2006–07 season, he joined the Prince George Cougars.
Setoguchi was expected to begin the 2007–08 season in the National Hockey League with the Sharks, however he was injured and placed on the IR. He started off the season with the Worcester Sharks, San Jose's AHL affiliate located in Worcester, Massachusetts. There he played 2 games before getting called back up to San Jose.
Setoguchi scored his first two regular-season NHL goals on October 29, 2007, in his first NHL game, playing against the Dallas Stars. He became the first Sharks rookie ever to score two goals in his first NHL game.
On December 28, 2007, Setoguchi was sent back down to Worcester. [1]
On January 18, 2008, the Sharks recalled Setoguchi back up to San Jose. The following day, San Jose lost to the Detroit Red Wings 6–3, in which Setoguchi scored a power play goal.[2]
On January 25, 2008, Setoguchi was sent back down to Worcester along with Tomas Plihal, Thomas Greiss, and Marc-Edouard Vlasic to get additional playing time during the NHL All-Star break, then recalled back to San Jose on January 28, 2007.
On April 15, 2008, Setoguchi appeared in his first NHL playoff game, where he assisted on the game-tying goal in the third period. The Sharks went on to score one more goal to win that game.[3]
