## 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.

### Washington Capitals

On May 2, 2018, Jonsson-Fjällby was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals. 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.

#### Loan to Västervik and brief stint in Buffalo

On 14 September 2020, Jonsson-Fjällby signed a loan agreement with Västerviks IK in Hockeyallsvenskan. He made his debut on October 2, 2020, when they beat AIK at Hovet 4–2. The next day he scored his first and second points for the club when he made two assists in a 4–3 win against Mora IK in Smidjegrav Arena.
The first goal in Västervik came on October 20, 2020, when the team once again meets Mora IK away. He scored two goals and an assist in the match that the team lost 4–3 on penalties.

### Winnipeg Jets

Prior to the 2022–23 campaign, Jonsson-Fjällby for the second consecutive season was placed on waivers following the pre-season and was claimed by the Winnipeg Jets on 11 October 2022.
