He started off the season with the Worcester Sharks where he played two 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, Devin was sent back down to Worcester. On January 18, 2008, the Sharks recalled him back up to San Jose. The following day, San Jose lost to the Detroit Red Wings 6–3, in which he scored a power play goal.

On January 25, 2008, Devin was sent back down to Worcester to get additional playing time during the NHL All-Star break, then recalled back to San Jose on January 28, 2008.

On April 15, 2008, he 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.

During the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Devin (along with Charlie Coyle and a first round pick) were traded to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Brent Burns and second round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. This trade happened only a day after he signed a 3-year contract extension with the Sharks.
