Marcus Högström (born March 20, 1989) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently playing with the Stockton Heat in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Högström played in the youth set-ups of Svegs IK, Skellefteå AIK and MODO Hockey. He then spent the 2009-10 campaign with Molot-Prikamie Perm in Russia's second-tier league. He made his Elitserien debut playing with Skellefteå AIK during the 2010–11 Elitserien season and would jump between Sweden's top-flight and the second division HockeyAllsvenskan in the following years, playing for clubs like Timrå IK, IF Sundsvall Hockey, Malmö Redhawks, Almtuna IS and Djurgårdens IF.[1]
After two full seasons with Djurgårdens IF in the Elitserie, he left for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) in 2016, joining HC Spartak Moscow.[2] He was waived by the KHL side in late November 2016[3] and accepted an offer from Finnish Liiga outfit HIFK a couple of days later.[4]
During his second stint with Djurgårdens IF, and in the midst of a successful 2017–18 season, Högström was signed to a three-year contract extension through to 2022 on February 7, 2018.[5] As Djurgårdens reached the semi-finals, Högström contributed with 3 goals and 23 points in 50 regular season games.
On June 12, 2018, Högström sought a release from his contract with Djurgårdens IF after securing a one-year, two-way contract as a 29-year-old with the Calgary Flames of the NHL.[6]
International play
Högström received his first cap for Sweden's men's national team in April 2016.[7]
