Jonsson-Fjällby broke away down the left side, before scoring on a beautiful backhand shot.

The tally was his fifth in as many games, and ensures that Jonsson-Fjällby’s lead in SHL playoff goals remains intact.

You might recognize another name there in Andrew Gordon. The former-Capital and Hershey Bears forward now plays with Linköping in the SHL. He has three goals, and two assists in six games played.

Jonsson-Fjällby has done this while playing on Djurgården’s fourth line. AJF is playing with the Davidsson brothers. The Sabres took Marcus in the second round in 2017, the Blue Jackets drafted Jonathan in the sixth round of the same year.

Djurgården eventually went on to eliminate Linköping and progress to the semifinals. Their game winning goal came with 3.8 seconds left in regulation.
