He was drafted 62nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Axelsson won the Swedish Championship with Färjestads in 2009, and 2011 when he also made the Elitserien All-Star team.

In 2011, Axelsson left Färjestad to join nearly relegated Modo, where he missed the first few matches due to a wrist injury. In his competitive debut, Axelsson made an assist. After one season with Modo, he then left to join his third Elitserien club, Frölunda HC, in time for the 2012–13 season.
On March 31, 2014, Axelsson opted to leave the SHL and signed a multi-year contract with Swiss club, HC Davos of the National League A (NLA). In his first season in 2014–15, Axelsson contribued to Davos capturing the Swiss championship, posting 33 points in 45 games.
