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.
On January 8, 2021, Jonsson-Fjällby left Västervik to return to Washington Capital's organization. During his time at the club, he made 25 appearances, scoring 4 goals and 11 assists.[6]
While attending the Capitals 2021 training camp for the upcoming 2021–22 season, Jonsson-Fjällby was placed on waivers in order for reassignment before he was claimed by the Buffalo Sabres on October 4, 2021.[7] Due to visa complications he would ultimately be re-claimed by the Capitals off waivers one week later on October 11, 2021, and reassigned to the Hershey Bears of the AHL.[8]
