So far in the 2018 World Junior Championship, Capitals prospect Axel Jonsson-Fjällby has been an early surprise for Team Sweden.

On Tuesday, Jonsson-Fjällby led Sweden in shots (5) and landed a massive hit on Belarus defenseman Vladislav Martynyuk. Today, Jonsson-Fjällby added to his highlight reel with a beautiful first period assist in Sweden’s 3-1 win over Czech Republic.

The play started with a zone entry by forward Glenn Gustafsson. After receiving the puck, Jonsson-Fjällby deked around Czech defenseman Filip Král.

Jonsson-Fjällby carried the puck behind the goal before finding forward Marcus Davidsson out front. Davidsson went top shelf and buried the puck past Czech goaltender Jakub Škarek’s left shoulder.

Jonsson-Fjällby’s flow is looking 💯 today.

The play was briefly reviewed for goaltender interference, but was ruled a good goal and gave Sweden an early 1-0 lead.

Sweden would go on to defeat the Czech Republic 3-1.

Jonsson-Fjällby has spent most of his time on Sweden’s fourth line so far and has been good defensively. The prospect forward was used in a shutdown role as the Czech Republic tried to score in the final minute of Thursday’s game.
