Axel Jonsson-Fjällby (born 10 February 1998) is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward currently playing with the Hershey Bears in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Capitals in the fourth round, 147th overall, of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Playing career[]

Jonsson-Fjällby made his professional debut in his native Sweden with Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) in the 2016–17 season.[2]

On May 2, 2018, Jonsson-Fjällby was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals.[3] He was loaned back to Djurgårdens IF on November 13, 2018, after a brief period where he played with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League.[4]

While attending the Capitals 2021 training camp for the upcoming 2021–22 season, Jonsson-Fjällby was placed on waivers in order for re-assignment before he was claimed by the Buffalo Sabres on October 4, 2021.[5] Due to visa complications he would ultimately be re-claimed by the Capitals off waivers one week later on October 11, 2021 and re-assigned to the Hershey Bears of the AHL.[6]
