Marcus Högberg

Marcus Högberg (born 25 November 1994) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player who is a goaltender for Linköping HC of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). Högberg was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the third round (78th overall) of the 2013 NHL entry draft.

Playing career Högberg made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Linköping HC during the 2012–13 season. On 17 March 2013, it was announced that Linköping would loan Högberg to Mora IK of the lower HockeyAllsvenskan for the duration of the 2013–14 season.

After his fourth season in the SHL, Högberg was signed to a two-year entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on 30 March 2017. He was signed by AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, to a professional try-out deal to close out the 2016–17 season.

Högberg split most of the 2017–18 season between the AHL Belleville Senators and the Senators ECHL team, the Brampton Beast.

Högberg began the 2018–19 season with the Belleville Senators. However, before he was able to play a game for the Senators that season, he was reassigned to the ECHL on 27 November. After being recalled to the AHL, and playing in seven games, Högberg was recalled to the NHL on 22 December 2018. He was shortly thereafter reassigned to the AHL but eventually made his NHL debut on 29 December against the Washington Capitals. He made 21 saves in the 3–2 loss to the Capitals.

On 19 June 2019, Högberg was signed to a two-year contract extension, with the second year on a one-way basis with the Senators at $700,000.

As an impending free agent from the Senators after five seasons within the organization, Högberg opted to return to his original Swedish club, Linköping HC of the SHL, by agreeing to a four-year contract on 17 June 2021.

Following the 2023–24 season and having compiled three successful years with Linköping HC, Högberg exercised his NHL out clause from the remaining year of his contract in the SHL, by signing a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the New York Islanders on 7 May 2024. On 11 January 2025, Högberg earned his first win with the Islanders, when they beat the Utah Hockey Club 2–1.

On 29 April 2026, Högberg signed a three-year deal with Linköping HC of the SHL, which marks his third stint with the team.
