Axel Jonsson-Fjällby scores twice in first goals since WJC

Since being drafted by the Capitals in 2016, Axel Jonsson-Fjällby has been one of the least-expected stars to rise on a talent packed Swedish team. The follicly-gifted forward made a name for himself during the 2018 World Junior Championships, scoring two shorthanded goals and registering two assists to help propel Sweden to win silver.

Since the WJC ended, Jonsson-Fjällby has struggled a bit to maintain his momentum, at times finding himself on the bench of a second-place Djurgården team in a fight for standings points.

That ended today.

Axel Jonsson-Fjällby’s shorthanded goal against USA helps push Sweden to WJC gold-medal game

In a hard-fought World Junior Championship semifinals game between Team Sweden and Team USA, special teams decided the game. But in a weird twist, it was the team a man down who did the clutch scoring.

With Team Sweden up 2-0 in the third period, Swedish forward Linus Lindstrom took a holding the stick penalty. Instead of a USA comeback, Sweden would ice the game.

51 seconds into the penalty kill, Swedish forward Oskar Steen scored shorthanded to make it 3-0. 38 seconds later, Capitals prospect Axel Jonsson-Fjällby tallied Sweden’s second shorty while killing that same minor penalty.

The unlikely SHGs would lead Sweden to victory.
